Lyric discussion by SadDaddy69 

Cover art for I'm a Ruin lyrics by Marina and the Diamonds

One of my all time favourite. I always felt like it was about having someone in love with you while feeling like you're not supposed to be together even though you really care about that person. Like being torn between wanting to be with them because of the romantic feeling you both have but also wanting to run away because something about the possible relationship feels wrong. Feeling like the most fault is on your side because you're too insecure, too twisted to bear with, too full of self-doubt whether you're really ready to be with someone. because you just feel like they wouldn't be happy with you and you would end up hurting them, yet you still somehow can't let them go.

My Interpretation
