[Verse 1]
Feeling like a loser, feeling like a bum
Sitting on the outside, observing the fun
Don't get on my bad side, I can work a gun
Hop into the backseat, baby, I'll show you some fun

[Pre-Chorus]
These people are weird in here
And they're giving me the fear
Just because you know my name
Doesn't mean you know my game
I look myself in the face
And whisper "I'm in the wrong place"
Is there more to lose than gain
If I go on my own again?

[Chorus]
On my own again
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside...

[Verse 2]
People are connecting, don't know what to say
I'm good at protecting what they wanna take
Spilt the milk at breakfast, hit me double-hard
And I grinned at you softly 'cause I'm a fucking wild card

[Pre-Chorus]
These people are weird in here
And they're giving me the fear
Just because you know my name
Doesn't mean you know my game
I look myself in the face
And whisper "I'm in the wrong place"
Is there more to lose than gain
If I go on my own again?

[Chorus]
On my own again
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside... (Again, again)

[Bridge]
(Outside...)
All I know is I cannot pretend
So I'm sitting on the outside again
(Inside...)

[Chorus]
On my own again
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside... (Again)
On my own again
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside the outsider (On my own again)
Inside...

[Outro]
Inside, again
Inside, again
Inside, again
Inside, again

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.
