Lyrics Marina & the Diamonds

Marina & 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 a 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 that cover what is wrong

Come on, baby, let's just get drunk, forget we don't get on

You like my dad, you'd get on well

I send my best regards from hell

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, than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role

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

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, than play a supporting role

If I can't get the starring role.

The starring role
