Starring Role

It's about a physical relationship that isn't and won't be going anywhere. She knows this. However, she keeps trying fruitlessly to get anything out of him and turn it into an actual relationship. He is only with her to have a physical body to use when he needs one. So she tries to get her own satisfaction and revenge on him by pretending she doesn't care. She's trying to show him that she is using him just for physical relief too. Except she isn't. And she feels awful for pretending to be as cold and hard as him, even though it would make things easier. She keeps going on this turbulent roller coaster. She's living the fantasy of being with him only to crash when she realizes he'll just move on when he finds his "star". But she is staying around and keeping her claws in him in hopes of finally landing the part of his heart. After all, what other girl would want to play the supporting role with her around?

"the only time you open up is when we get undressed" The song is about someone who she is having a physical flame with: "you don't love me big fucking deal I'll never tell you how I feel" she acts like it's no big deal to her that he doesn't love her back so she won't say anything to him. She'd rather be alone then be just one of many girls he's getting with, she wants to be the star of the show of his life but she continues to be with him anyway.

This is more a "no string attached" kinda thing. Totally physical, nothing else, even though secretly she wants more. Yeah, he does open up, but only when they are together doing the deed. She likes him, duh, but he doesn't. And she's not gonna try hard at getting him because it might end up painful, and she's trying to be heartless anyway. But it's still painful to know how she meant nothing to him after all they've done.

Dammit, this is TOTALLY what happen to me right now. It sucks, but I'd rather walk alone than play a supporting role..

It's obviously about previously said only physical relationship with no strings attached, but because I never had such experiences, I always connected the song with being the most supportive person to the one you fell very hard for, but somehow you're still the second place. You're the one they spend the most time with so you eventually started to feel special, or just want to be special because it's you they have the most of. But despite all the closure you want to give them, they still seem so distant because they just use you to help themself like some sort of painkiller you willingly are because you love them so much you want to satisfy them and you can't understand how the hell you give so much of yourself for someone and you're somehow still not their first choice, how there's still someone else, someone above you and it kills you to know that you're basically just a support for a broken person that would eventually leave you once they don't need your help anymore and just go to the person who somehow still beats you. And putting their feelings above your own you don't even feel like you should show how deeply you actually care about them, so you might eventually sometimes isolate yourself, giving them space, but no matter how down you are you know you would never just let go because you just fell too hard. And never get anything in return

pooo i just finished the lyrics and clicked submit but u got there first. oh well:) btw its you're like my dad you get on well i SEND my best regards from hell

This song reminds me of my recent break up. Since me and my ex broke up we have continued sleeping together the odd time and he has given me so many mixed signals. He would never open up or speak to me unless we were alone in bed. I still care about him and this song reminds me of my fustration of this situation.
