Melanie Martinez - Starring Role lyrics

rate me

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

Hook:

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 like my dad, you get on well

I send my best, regards from hell

Hook:

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

Hook:

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
