LYRICS
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I played with your heart
And I could treat you better but I'm not that smart
You still mean everything to me, to me
But I wanna be free
[Chorus]
I'll ruin, yeah I'll ruin you (I'll ruin)
I've been doing things I shouldn't do (things I shouldn't do)
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
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 want to love again
It’s difficult to say goodbye
And easier to live a lover’s lie
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
I'll ruin, yeah I'll ruin you (I'll ruin)
I've been doing things I shouldn't do (things I shouldn't do)
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus Variation]
I'll ruin, yeah I'll ruin you (I'll ruin)
I've been doing things I shouldn't do (things I shouldn't do)
But I don’t wanna say goodbye (goodbye)
But baby I don’t wanna lie
To lie, to lie to you
I’m a ruin
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, uh huh, ooh, yeah

THE GLITTERY FUCKING LIPS ARE BACK BACK I TELL YOU

[@jonbehere]

FUCK

[@jonbehere]

fuckkkkk. I think I prefer the studio version of Happy compared to the acoustic, but TOTAL other way round with this one.

[@jonbehere]

Interesting how Froot hasn't had the acoustic treatment yet. Can't decide if it'd work that well? But then primadonna worked well acousitcally

[@jonbehere]

I am so fucking enthusiastic I cannot type

You're so lucky! Have fun😊😊

[@glitterydiamond9005]

I feel like this is a more mature and different version of homewrecker

[@terezaagnespokorna9964]

Why do you think? I really wonder, because I don't exactly see the parallel in the story.

[@Γκοραν80]

@@terezaagnespokorna9964 I feel this song more like the opposite, yet the counterpart, of 'Lies'

[@user-hi4xi2rp8j]

" I had my share of beautiful men"

[@username8448]

Its like a combination of homewrecker and lies

[@kareemselu6079]

I have a playlist of her for my funeral (:

[@sarahanne__]

Justin Saltsman I don’t know what to say but I’m impressed

[@hoelliwells2265]

SHE NEEDS TO MAKE AN ACOUSTIC VERSION OF ALL OF HER ALBUMS FUCK

[@eclipsicallane9179]

How about a super long marina album with acoustics from all song together 😮

[@bigbadwolfflurryface3246]

Eclipsical Lane or just picked ones

[@hellohandhold]

The slight rasp on her low notes combined with the killer vibrato on the top notes just destroys me every time.

[@abstractswirls]

on my monthly Marina obsession. where I watch 40 of her performances in a row. I love this woman

[@SoloVagant]

Likewise ........

[@ihavenooriginalnameideas9036]

WE HAVE OBSESSIONS

[@epsilonsocialchair3774]

well i watch 50 of her performances when i do xanax so

[@benroq.1691]

abstractswirls MOrE LiKE dAiLY

[@Raynexification]

OH MY GOD YES THIS!

[@addisons.991]

Does anyone feel like this is the reverse version of Lies from Electra Heart? In Lies, she was talking about how the person she was with didn't want to be with her anymore, but in I'm A Ruin it seems like it's the other way around.

[@alexgonzalez4179]

I noticed that too.

[@XxBullet2MyHartxX]

I love that, she puts herself in different perspectives and she expresses each one brilliantly through each piece she releases.

[@ShawnPhelpsVlog]

I love that she does that, because truthfully, I can identify with "Lies," while listening to "I'm a Ruin" sounded like it came straight from my ex's diary.

[@pastelcandy3790]

OMg sheS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH herSELF

[@rantsbynat7112]

I felt more radioactive in this, especially the music video. I took it as what was once radioactive is now just a ruin? Idk

[@MonsieurOeuf]

With every album, she should release a kind of a collector's edition bonus disc with all songs of the album in their acoustic versions. She kills it every effin time !

[@eldonmati]

I think she's gonna be releasing some colorful vinyls, one for each fruit. Correct me if i'm wrong

[@MonsieurOeuf]

Matt Stevens Yeh, she is but I meant like a separate edition with an acoustic version of the whole album.

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

She's repackaging Froot with 5 more songs too

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

Technically happy was already acoustic because it was only with piano but still

[@Cuzjudd]

It's a sign of very strong songs when they sound amazing acoustic. And literally every song on EH sounds amazing acoustic

[@JohanPapz]

this might be my favourite song ever..

[@Cuzjudd]

The amount of times I've said that about a Marina song

[@TheMoskytoboy]

It is also my fav song

[@DylanCrossing]

bah alors johan

[@amandinebzt]

salut johan

[@llap476]

Johaaaaaan je savais pas que t’aimais marina wsh

[@AF-cm1kg]

her lipstick is glittery omg kiss me

[@energyismygame]

SOUNDS LIKE THE GATES OF HEAVEN OPENING

[@MrDramaKingTV]

Her voice and technique is on point in this one. Not that it usually isn't, it's just like even more amazing in this video. And this is actually a very difficult song.

[@randomthings4360]

Zackary Quinn yeah the way that she sings in head voice is pretty difficult

[@kaldurobuin]

Marina's acoustic sessions are always breathtaking 🙌

[@noellimirin8118]

omfg ik! love her

[@alixkwb]

me, listening to "I'm a ruin": *is not in a relationship, has never been in a relationship, feels no personal emotional connection with this song but loves marina and her music* "yes, v epic" me, listening to "'i'm a ruin' [acoustic]": "i am suddenly in a long, committed relationship with a man whom i love very much; i have loved for a long time, but i now feel this immense sense of malaise and sadness because i'm incredibly inflicted and have guilt on my mind... i don't know if i love him enough although he is everything in my life... and now i'm crying okay."

[@theblueagate]

I am literally the second scenario.

[@paytonmanning1109]

That last statement is exactly where I’m at in life and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. 🥴

[@jjwhack8194]

Please not me being in the second scenario

[@sab5686]

i just feel raw emotion when i listen to this... marina is so powerful... im in love

[@Music_Lover0612]

+Tyler Kupcho Oh my gosh you like Flo and the Machine too?!

[@yazeedmisha]

Marina has the unique ability to write songs that describe every single feeling you can ever have! And lets not forget about her amazing voice!

[@eliotmeraz1302]

I agree

[@ambrynnj8558]

i don't think i've ever seen a more wrongly underappreciated artist out there ..

[@ShawnPhelpsVlog]

I can't get over how much I love this song. Not because I identified with it myself, but because it made me finally understand how my ex felt. I can't even explain that in any way that does it justice.

[@kitschesque]

Same situation here. People often forget their exes are full of feelings, too. Their actions are full of memories and love/bond with us, no matter what they decide to do. If only people understood that. We're all people, we all have feelings. Not to mention that I am on the other side now, with my other relationship. It's complex on so many levels and yet people don't even try to understand it a bit, but judging immadietly...

[@sheet-music]

d-bags ^

[@kitschesque]

excuse me?

[@Matamoroscamila]

I do identify this song bc it's all I never could say

[@sergiobeet9597]

Shawn Phelps same here. But after I felt this song and actually I can't understand and forget.

[@bunniesandvids]

status update: weave snatched

[@RoxetteRubio]

We need an acoustic version of her entire discography, like please 😭

[@Cuzjudd]

I know right

[@yosoybalta]

Am I the only one who thinks this version is better?

[@oscarcoyac6300]

everything, with her, is better.

[@milliondollrboy4442]

+Baltazar Zuñiga Cervantes So much better!!!

[@laura_m.]

I think it is not better, just in the acoustic versions are always has got more beautiful emotion

I don't usually get tears during songs, but I guess I'm just in a sad, acoustic Marina mood today. Anybody else?

[@helenasoldevilla8208]

I make comments cuz this is my commenting channel I had this yesterday, it nearly killed me.

[@Randomeststuff123]

I remember when this song came out and my friends and I all got together @ lunch and listened to it. I miss Marina when she's on break. Hope she'll be back soon.

[@OfficialPrettyLittleLiars]

You are as beautiful as your voice, Marina! I hope we get acoustic videos for the rest of the FROOTs!

[@OnlyEmerald]

I feel like Marina is one of the fee real artist left. She doesn't rely on craft or or outrageous gimmicks to make herself popular.cshe just uses her amazing god given talent and its just absolutely beautiful. The fact that she wrote the entire FROOT album solely by herself speaks true artistry and talent. Well done marina, well done.

[@dannyk7226]

She is one of the most beautiful artists of this generation. Bar none.

[@valentinatp]

i love her acoustic so freakin' much

Am I the only one that crys about her songs?

[@kaitlicana2842]

2:34 she gets her hair caught and then swiftly removes it. ITS SO SMOOTH AND ADORABLE AND WHAT IS SHE EVEN

[@energyismygame]

STUNNING!!! In brazilian portuguese you don't say "Marina Diamandis", you say "Cachaceira Feirante Vendedora de Frootaas Destruidora de Corações" and I think that's beautiful.

I'm so in love with this song and her voice is amazing

[@noellimirin8118]

totally, she's just amazing c:

[@Cuzjudd]

I'm so fucking obsessed with Marina

[@xehntanyI]

Hands downs best vocals of this century !

[@justinb813]

It amazes me that we really live in a world where true talent and art isn’t appreciated just mediocrity drowned out in overproduction... this is true art with an authentic and colorful mind behind the body of work. At the same time I love that she’s my little hidden gem but she certainly deserves all the praise in the world. Music certainly was her calling.

[@Sampsonay]

Who the fuck dislikes this.

[@lehtesnus97]

***** Then why did you click on this video? And it has only 9 dislikes, the majority of people love it.

[@iPhailepically]

***** lehtesnus97 This person has been doing nothing but spreading hate on the songs from this album. It's fine that he doesn't like this particular album but just stop listening until the next one instead of going on the videos and leaving unnecessary comments. Every song on thos album so far has been one of Marina's worst songs to that guy so take what you will from that.

[@aureliodias8845]

yeah she can do better than that

[@sophieminter0]

***** If I don't like the video i'm watching I usualy just don't like it or unlike it. I just don't watch the video.

[@Zsderswjuan]

+Aurélio Dias Is this a pun?

[@alarmcaller]

I'm ready to say it, she is the best "new" singer of the 2010's decade so far. Of the singers whose careers started at or near the beginning of this decade.

[@Jennifer-cf1ov]

Please come to Texas on the FROOT tour, then meet people, then meet me, and please don't freak out when I start crying because it's gonna happen.

[@ValKagamineNyan]

Marina's voice is so beautiful I can't handle it 3:28 IT SURPRISED ME

[@XDjoseXD2010]

Marina, please, never quit music, how are we supposed to take it if you give us such good music like this.

[@LadyPisces96]

I love this song forever

[@hotforhaha1]

Dilemma: Continue watching her beautiful face while I listen to her angelic voice? Or...continue listening to her angelic voice while I read these awesome and amusing comments? Thankfully there's a replay option....

[@NicoletteBostick]

THIS IS THE SOUND OF THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN

The way she leaves this song is ingenius. You're begging for more but it just tapers off. I almost broke down.

That bridge at 3:20 breaks every inch of my existence apart, as i'm moving out from our home soon 'cuz shit's been gettin worse with a situation where i can't do anything, and he's still standing there, loving me, as much as i love him.. but i love myself more. i just can't, and this song explains well how i'm feeling.
