Starring Role
(HD) Marina and the Diamonds Lyrics

You're hard to hug, tough to talk to And I never fall asleep, when you're in my bed
You're not easy to cuddle with or have meaningful conversations with, and having you in my bed makes it hard for me to sleep.

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
Being with you only gives me a physical response and it's making me emotionally numb. It's depressing because the only time you act vulnerable with me is during sex.

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
I know you don't love me, but it's not a big deal. I won't tell you how I feel though.

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
It feels like a joke that I have to pretend everything is okay when I'm not the center of your affection. I'd rather be alone than play second fiddle to someone else. I need to be the most important person in your heart.

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
I ignore you sometimes because it makes me feel like I have some power and control in the situation. But in reality, I care about you a lot and can't stay away from you. I'm tired of pretending that everything is perfect between us when it's not. Let's just get drunk and forget about our problems.

You like my dad You get on well I send my best Regards from hell
You and my dad get along, but I can't stand you. Greetings from the place where I feel like I'm stuck because I can't escape my feelings for you.

I never sent for love, I never had a heart to mend Because before the start began, I always saw the end
I never expected to fall in love or have my heart broken, because I always knew things wouldn't work out in 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
I keep waiting for you to be vulnerable with me and fully commit to our relationship, but it's never going to happen. I'll never be able to let you go, even though it's not good for me.
