Lyrics Marina & the Diamonds

Marina & the Diamonds

I'm a Ruin

I know that I can’t have it all

But without you I am afraid I’ll fall

I know I’m playing with your heart

And I could treat you better but I’m not that smart

When it comes to love, you’re an easy fight

A flower in a gun, a bird in flight

It isn’t fair and it isn’t right

To lead you on like it’s all alright

I played with your heart

And I could treat you better but I’m not that smart

You still mean everything to me

But I wanna be free

I’ll ruin, yeah, I’ll ruin you

I’ve been doing things I shouldn’t do

Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah

Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah

It’s difficult to move on

When nothing was right and nothing’s wrong

You still can’t look me in the eye

'Cause you’ve been bitten once and now you’re twice as shy

I’ve had my share of beautiful men

But I’m still young and I wanna love again

It’s difficult to say goodbye

And easier to live a lover’s lie

And I’ve tried to say

Babe, I’m gonna ruin you if you let me stay

You still mean everything to me, to me

But I wanna be free

I’ll ruin, yeah, I’ll ruin you

I’ve been doing things I shouldn't do

Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah

It doesn’t feel right and it doesn’t feel fair

When I’m planning to move on and you’re still standing there

Don’t wanna keep a secret but I don’t know how to keep it fair, yeah

I’ll ruin, yeah, I’ll ruin you

I’ve been doing things I shouldn’t do

But I don’t wanna say goodbye

But, baby, I don’t wanna lie

To lie, to lie to you

I’m a ruin

Yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
