HOMEWRECKER
MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS | Lyrics

Every boyfriend is the one until otherwise proven
People often idealize their romantic partners until they reveal their true nature.

The good are never easy, the easy never good
Attractive people are often difficult to manage; on the other hand, those who are easy to handle may not be suited for you.

And loving never happens like you think it really should
Love is unpredictable and often does not meet expectations.

Deception and perfection are wonderful traits
People value those who can deceive and perform flawlessly, regardless of their character.

One will breed love, the other hate
While people find deception and perfection attractive, these traits can eventually cause issues in relationships.

You'll find me in the lonely hearts
I have had my share of heartbreak and am now seeking companionship.

Under 'I'm after a brand new start'
I am looking for a fresh beginning, free from past relationships.

And I don't belong to anyone
I am independent and cannot be tied down to any one person, nor do I want to be.

They call me homewrecker
I have been blamed for the end of multiple relationships.

Girls and their curls and gourmet vomit
Women often try too hard to be perfect, even to the point of making themselves sick.

Boys and their toys and their six-inch rockets
Men are often fixated on their hobbies and material possessions, which can detract from their emotional connections with others.

We're all very lovely 'til we get to know each other
Initially, people can appear charming, but as we get to know them better, their true personality can emerge.

As we stop becoming friends and we start becoming lovers
Romantic relationships can lead to the breakdown of a formerly platonic friendship.

I'm only happy when I'm on the run
I find solace in staying busy and free, without committing myself to anyone or anything.

I break a million hearts just for fun
I enjoy the control I have over others and do not mind causing emotional pain.

I guess you could say that my life's a mess
My life may seem disorganized or chaotic to others.

But I'm still looking pretty in this dress
Despite any difficulties I may face, I still manage to maintain my appearance and demeanor.

I'm the image of deception
I project an image of being perfect and in control, but in reality, I am deceptive and manipulative.

When everything is life and death
In times of stress or extreme emotion, people can act in irrational or dramatic ways.

You may feel like there's nothing left
During difficult times, it can feel hopeless and as if there is no solution to your problems.

Instead of love and trust and laughter
Rather than fostering positive emotions and relationships, negative feelings and actions often take over.

What you get is happy never-after
In the end, even when things seem positive or hopeful, they often result in heartbreak or disappointment.

But deep down all you want is love
Despite past failures or disappointments, humans crave deep, meaningful connections with others.

The pure kind we all dream of
People seek relationships based on love and respect, rather than greed or control.

But we cannot escape the past
Past experiences and relationships can continue to impact us, even when we try to move forward.

So you and I will never last
Even though relationships and feelings may seem strong at first, the past and other factors can prevent them from lasting in the long term.
