Marina and the Diamonds - Starring Role

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

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

It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When you are not the starring role in someone else’s heart
You know I’d rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
If I can’t get the starring role

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, they cover what is wrong
Come on, baby, let’s just, get drunk, forget we don’t get on You love my dad, you get on well
I send my best, regards from hell

It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When you are not the starring role in someone else’s heart
You know I’d rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
If I can’t get the starring role

I never sent 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

It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When you are not the starring role in someone else’s heart
You know I’d rather walk alone, than play a supporting role
If I can’t get the starring role, the starring role, hmm
