[Verse 1]
You’re the lonely
One and only body in the world
Who can make me
Who can break me down into a young girl
You say that love is not that easy
And that’s the lesson that you teach me
So hypocritical, overly cynical
I’m sick and tired of all your preaching

[Chorus]
Who are you to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?

[Verse 2]
You’re my last bone of contention
That could break at any mention
You’re the last wall that will stand tall
Till the end of the world
I know you only want to own me
And that’s the kind of love you show me
You tell me one thing and do another
Keep all your secrets undercover

[Chorus]
Who are you to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you let, you let go
Yeah, you let, you let go
Yeah, you let, you let go
Of me

[Bridge]
Yeah you played the martyr for so long
That you can’t do anything wrong

[Chorus]
Who are you to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you let, you let go
Yeah, you let, you let go
Yeah, you let, you let go
Of me

[Chorus]
Who are you to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?

Marina Diamandis

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
