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

[@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

It is also my fav song

bah alors johan

[@amandinebzt]

salut johan

[@llap476]

Johaaaaaan je savais pas que t’aimais marina wsh

[@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

[@twaimz]

going to shit myself when i see you live

[@ashkonian]

HOLY SHIT TWAIMZ YOU LOVE HER TOO BLESS YOUR SOUL

[@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

[@jonbehere]

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

[@jonbehere]

IT'S BEEN 14 HOURS AND I AM STILL NOT OVER THIS

[@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

[@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

[@hellohandhold]

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

[@kaldurobuin]

Marina's acoustic sessions are always breathtaking 🙌

[@noellimirin8118]

omfg ik! love her

[@itallopereira2628]

SOUNDS LIKE THE GATES OF HEAVEN OPENING

[@Music_Lover0612]

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

[@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.

[@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]

second paragraph summed up my situation well, this song hits so hard

[@pixelatedangel8900]

WHEN SHE STARTED SINGING THE "YEAH YEAH" PART OF THE SONG I FELL OF MY CHAIR SCREAMING BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE MY EARS WERE JUST BLESSED WITH THE POWER OF FROOT

[@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

[@kevinblank8793]

The lyrics leave my heart bleeding

[@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

[@milliondollrboy4442]

Stacy Sharkwatcher​ Right!

[@fagmobster]

Everything about her is the best!

[@AutomaticArrangments]

This talent isn't legal. wtf.

[@josuelbelarmino4369]

Looking forward for this version in the 10th anniversary edition of Froot 🥹🥹🍒

[@DragRaceDU]

SAME!!!

[@RoxetteRubio]

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

[@Cuzjudd]

I know right

[@thewitchscabin.official]

It's been 8 years???? Woah I used to play this version almost everyday at 15 😭

I think that: Those 42 people who dislikes this video understanded: Dis i Like :')

[@vicl8500]

seriously!

[@damazy1726]

exactly honey

[@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.

[@ambrynnj8558]

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

[@kaitlicana2842]

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

[@OfficialPrettyLittleLiars]

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

[@maisiedaisy5127]

ugh my creator is so amazing

[@BilllyRayCyrus]

Yas slay mommy

[@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.

[@alexandraflorencio6187]

AHAHHAHA MORTA

HAHAHHAHAH SOCORRO

HAHAHAHAHAHA AMEI

[@Cuzjudd]

I'm so fucking obsessed with Marina

[@onlinebilly]

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.

Es imposible superar la versión estudio

[@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.

[@v4lentinaaaaa]

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

[@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.

[@valentinatp]

i love her acoustic so freakin' much

[@alejandroaragoncanadillas8890]

"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" JUST BEAUTIFUL

[@bittering]

SHE WAS BORN FLAWLESS.

[@kaylasim94]

This is just pure beauty. Like I am crying. Marina is Queen! 💎

[@kaylasim94]

Am I the only one that crys about her songs?

[@TamiBussi]

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

[@noellimirin8118]

totally, she's just amazing c:

[@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

[@Blumoon_vii]

This song saved my life literally.. I was in a party in someone's home, just broke up with my x and smoked something there, and i overdosed by smoking something chemical, and I thought I was having. Aheart attack I couldn't move for an hour and one of my friends played that song to me to make me calm down and I was claiming down while am listening to it and her voice was the safety net that I heard to be back to life 😢 I never forget that experience

[@ZsaZsasMug]

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.

[@kaitlicana2842]

The FROOT era is fucking amazing so far. Also Marina is happy. She deserves to be happy.

[@NicoletteBostick]

THIS IS THE SOUND OF THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN

[@SoCalburro]

Those eyes. OMG. Her voice. And that little nose lol 😍😍😍🥰

[@VV-nz4dv]

She ripped every inch of my hair right out my head.

[@GottaBeSam]

Imagine Marina doing a duet with Lana. Just imagine. They would destroy everyones emotions. Please do. x

[@samuelmoore5160]

Lana is a cheap imitation of Marina. I'd rather she collabed with Hoodie Allen

[@biancaborjao6717]

Marina please come to Florianópolis, Brazil!!! I'm waiting for you!

[@BubbleGothArmy]

At first I was really hesitant, but I'm confident the FROOT Era will be the best yet.

[@dkreni2]

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

[@victoriafroot4889]

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.

[@CitizenofChromatica]

her voice is SO pure!

[@shinigamikitsune1541]

Her voice has the softness of an angel and *the depth of a goddess*

[@ashleyn6248]

How can so much talent come from one person? Marina defies logic and shes the definition of perfection.

[@KyssDeRain]

Can you fucking believe this masterpiece right here took more than 4 years to reach 1 million views?

[@Angel-bl7yk]

Once again she did an amazing job. I actually kind of like the acoustic better than the original, but both are still amazing.

Marina is such a queen 💗 and she is so different and unique, idk I just love her

[@l.l2998]

It's so uncommon nowadays to see true artists that I almost can't believe it's actually the way she REALLY sounds. Her live voice is truly amazing like they literally have nothing to change in the studio except maybe sync her voice and the music.

[@elpendy398]

Everything about this song is so perfect, it hurts.

[@malopaqfb]

I really feel like this song. I love u Marina, you are the best. This song makes me cry, I'm in a situation like song describes. Please please please this version on Spotify, hugs from México. Gracias por tus canciones y tu arte. ❤️🤗

[@AlexDreams0324]

Took me a moment to realize this was acoustic. Holy. Marina is talented.

[@Cuzjudd]

Is she?

[@PhebzAshel22]

There needs to be acoustic versions of every single damn song bc dayum she kills it and I'm in love

[@alexvillaverde5755]

1st person to comment. this is an amazing performance of such a beautiful and meaningful song. Great job Marina!

[@MadTsaiOfficial]

I personally think that these acoustic versions are a million times better than the ones in the FROOT album. Marina just sounds so amazing live, and she shows so much emotion in these. Every time I watch the Happy acoustic version, I always cry, because it's just so stunning. Please make an acoustic album Marina, I love you.

[@monisune]

How did I just now hear this version?! It's amazing.
