#ELECTRA HEART: an assortment of lyrics (changed to be more dialogue-like) from marina’s album electra heart. please note that some songs were easier to get lines from than others, so i apologize in advance! feel free to change around as needed. part one.
i got a figure like a doll.
i got a figure like a pin-up.
don’t care if you think i’m dumb.
i’m the girl you’d die for.
i’ll chew you up & spit you out.
pull me closer & kiss me hard.
that’s what young love is all about.
life gave me some lemons so i made some lemonade.
i think you’re gonna be my biggest fan.
all i ever wanted was the world.
i can’t help that i need it all.
got you wrapped around my finger.
you can count on me to misbehave.
would you do anything for me?
i’m living life like i’m in a dream.
would you get down on your knees for me?
i know i’ve got a big ego — don’t know why it’s such a big deal, though.
pop that pretty question.
when you give, i want more.
get what i want 'cause i ask for it, not because i’m really that deserving of it.
i’m living life like i’m in a play.
you’re never gonna love me, so what’s the use?
what’s the point in playing a game you know you’re gonna lose?
you’re too proud to say you made a mistake.
you’re a coward ‘till the end.
why don’t we just pretend?
i don’t wanna admit that we’re not gonna fit.
you only ever touch me in the dark.
i just want it to be perfect; to believe it’s all been worth the fight.
the good are never easy, the easy never good.
love: it never really happens like you think it really should.
i don't belong to anyone.
i break a million hearts just for fun.
they call me homewrecker.
i'm still looking pretty in this dress.
i'm only happy when i'm on the run.
i guess you could say that my life's a mess.
instead of love & trust & laughter, what you get is happy never after.
i'm the image of deception.
when everything is life and death, you may feel like there's nothing left.
but deep down, all you want is love. the pure kind, we all dream of.
we cannot escape the past.
you don't love me? big fucking deal.
when you're in my bed, all you give me is a heartbeat.
the only time you "open up" is when we get undressed.
you know i'd rather walk alone than play a supporting role.
i'll never tell you how i feel.
it almost feels like a joke to play a part when you are not a starring role in someone else's heart.
i send my best regards from hell.
sometimes i ignore you, so i feel in control.
i never had a heart to mend.
i wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me — but nothing's ever gonna give.
if only you knew, my dear.
i'm living in a state of dreaming.
i'm living in a make-believe land.
if i could sell my sorry soul, i would have it all.
all i really want is to be wonderful.
people in this town... they can be so cruel.
give a little, get a lot: that's just how you are with love.
think you're gonna break my heart?
you may be good-looking but you're not a piece of art.
love will always be a game.
all my life i've been controlled.
we give & take a little more — eternal game of tug and war.
a human vulnerability doesn't mean that i am weak.
you can't have peace without a war.
