[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]
The starring role
