Homewrecker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every boyfriend is the one
Until otherwise proven
The good are never easy, the easy never good
And love, it never happens like you think it really should
Deception and perfection are wonderful traits
One will breed love, the other, hate
You'll find me in the lonely hearts
Under 'I'm after a brand new start'
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't belong to anyone
[Chorus]
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
[Verse 2]
Girls and their curls and their gourmet vomit
Boys and their toys and their six inch rockets
We're all very lovely 'til we get to know each other
As we stop becoming friends and we start becoming lovers
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't belong to anyone
[Chorus]
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the run)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I broke a million hearts just for fun)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the run)
They call me homewrecker, homewrecker
(I broke a million hearts just for fun)
[Bridge]
I'm only happy when I'm on the run
I break a million hearts just for fun
I don't belong to anyone
I guess you could say that my life's a mess
But I'm still looking pretty in this dress
I'm the image of deception
[Verse 3]
When everything is life and death
You may feel like there's nothing left
Instead of love and trust and laughter
What you get is happy never after
But deep down all you want is love
The pure kind we all dream of
But we cannot escape the past
So you and I will never last
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the run)
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
(I broke a million hearts just for fun)
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
(I'm only happy when I'm on the run)
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker
(I broke a million hearts just for fun)
[Outro]
'Cause I'm a homewrecker, homewrecker

In a track-by-track interview about Electra Heart, Marina said:
‘Homewrecker’ is kind of a response to ‘Lies.’ In that, I think some people like to play the victim–for me, it’s quite embarrassing. And so I wanted to turn the tables and create a character-type that was more like the slayer than th...
