Starring Role

[Verse 1]

You're hard to hug, tough to talk to

And I never fall asleep when you're in my bed

All you give me is a heartbeat

I've turned into a statue

And it makes me feel depressed

'Cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You don't love me, big fucking deal

I'll never tell you how I feel

You don't love me, not a big deal

I'll never tell you how I feel

[Chorus]

It almost feels like a joke to play out a part

When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart

You know I'd rather walk alone (I'd rather walk alone)

Than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I ignore you, so I feel in control

'Cause really, I adore you and I can't leave you alone

Fed up with the fantasies that cover what is wrong

Come on, baby, let's just get drunk

Forget we don't get on

[Pre-Chorus 2]

You're like my dad, you'd get on well

I send my best regards from Hell

[Chorus]

It almost feels like a joke to play out a part

When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart

You know I'd rather walk alone (I'd rather walk alone)

Than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role

[Bridge]

I never sang for love, I never had a heart to mend

Because before the start began, I always saw the end, yeah

I wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me

But nothing's ever gonna give, I'll never set you free

Yeah I'll never set you free

[Chorus]

It almost feels like a joke to play out a part

When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart

You know I'd rather walk alone (I'd rather walk alone)

Than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role

[Outro]
