[Verse 1]
I was dreaming something dark
Hiding body parts
A broken dog, a broken leg
I left it cold, I left it dead

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm a guilty one
And they know what I have done
Yeah, I'm a troubled one
And I won't be forgiven

[Chorus]
Guilty on the run, and I know what I have done
Guilty on the run, and I'm never forgiven
I was just a kid that you could not forgive because it's harder
I was just a kid and all I really wanted was my father

[Verse 2]
Killed a dog so small and rare
Touched its technicoloured hair
I left it bruised and black and lame
I left it running, full of shame

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'm a guilty one
And they know what I have done
Yeah, I'm a troubled one
And I won't be forgiven

[Chorus]
Guilty on the run, and I know what I have done
Guilty on the run, and I'm never forgiven
I was just a kid that you could not forgive because it's harder
I was just a kid and all I really wanted was my father

[Bridge]
Spent years singing to forget (To forget)
I spent years singing "no regret"
Then suddenly, it all becomes clear
I've been sorry all these years

[Chorus]
I was just a kid that you could not forgive because it's harder
I was just a kid and all I really wanted was my father
Guilty on the run, and I know what I have done
Guilty on the run, and I'm never forgiven
Guilty on the run, and I know what I have done
Guilty on the run, and I'm never forgiven

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.
