I agree fully with elena560, but I think it's also important to mention that she finds this happiness in herself, by herself, for herself. Many people believe the title to be ironic, but I think it's being painfully honest. It's a confession that she's finally able to claim that she's "happy", after all these years of not being able to.
It's important that she says "I found what I was looking for in myself", because it entails that it was HER who gave her happiness, and not anyone else. I think many people like to believe in the romantic notion that some incredible, unique person can save you from your depressive state, but in reality this doesn't happen; Marina finally realizes that the person who was able to give her happiness all along was herself. To reiterate this, she states "I haven't found the one for me", revealing that she really is still alone (single), but not exactly lonely, and then follows it up with "but I believe in divinity", showing that she perhaps has hope for her future relationships, because she now has hope in herself. This is also seen in the phrase "found a life worth living for someone else", where she finally sees that she's not only capable of love, but is also deserving of it.
This is incredibly important message that needed to be sung. So thank you, Marina.
