Homewrecker
Marina the Diamonds Lyrics

Every boyfriend is the one, until otherwise proven
No matter how promising a relationship may seem, it is always subject to change.

The good are never easy, the easy never good
Those who are truly good are often complex and not easy to understand, while those who are easy to understand may not be good at their core.

And love, it never happens like you think it really should
Love is unpredictable and does not always follow our expectations or desires.

Deception and perfection are wonderful traits
While deception and perfection can be attractive qualities, they can also cause harm and destruction.

One will breed love, the other, hate
Deception can lead to false love, while an expectation of perfection can breed hatred instead of admiration.

You'll find me in the lonely hearts
The singer identifies with those who have been hurt or betrayed in love.

Under 'I'm after a brand new start'
She is seeking a fresh beginning and a chance to move on from past pain.

And I don't belong to anyone
The singer is independent and unattached, free to pursue her own desires and interests.

They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
Despite her independence, she is judged and criticized by others who see her as a threat to their relationships.

Girls and their curls and their gourmet vomit
The singer recognizes the superficial and often unhealthy behaviors of both men and women in relationships.

Boys and their toys and their six inch rockets
She sees men as often being obsessed with physical possessions and displays of power or prowess.

We're all very lovely 'til we get to know each other
People can be charming and attractive at first, but as relationships progress, flaws and underlying problems may come to light.

As we stop becoming friends and we start becoming lovers
When relationships become physical, they often change in nature and can become more complicated and difficult to maintain.

I guess you could say that my life's a mess
Despite her confidence and independence, the singer acknowledges that her life may not be perfect or straightforward.

But I'm still looking pretty in this dress
She takes pride in her appearance and demeanor despite the chaos in her life.

When everything is life and death
In the intense emotions of a relationship, small issues can feel like major problems and cause extreme reactions.

You may feel like there's nothing left
When a relationship seems over, it can be hard to see a future or a way forward.

Instead of love and trust and laughter
Relationships can devolve into negative emotions and actions such as mistrust, sadness, and anger.

What you get is happy never after
Despite our hopes for a fairy tale ending, relationships often end sadly or without resolution.

But deep down all you want is love
Despite the pain and difficulties, the singer recognizes that we all ultimately want love and connection.

The pure kind we all dream of
This idealized form of love is something we all imagine and long for at some point in our lives.

But we cannot escape the past
Past experiences and relationships can shape our expectations and behaviors in the present, making it difficult to move on or find true fulfillment.

So you and I will never last
The singer sees her current relationships as temporary or fleeting, due to her own tendencies or the complications of love in general.

'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
Despite her own desires for independence and fulfillment, the singer is often seen by others as someone who undermines or threatens established relationships.

(I'm only happy when I'm on the ru-u-un)
The singer values her freedom and lack of attachment, preferring to be on the move and unrooted.

(I break a million hearts just for fu-u-un)
In her pursuit of happiness and independence, the singer has caused harm and upset to many other people, even if it was unintentional.
