[Verse 1]
Tried to change, but I can't get a grip
I've been waiting for the scales to tip
Wondering if I was born like this
Black rainbow in a lucky dip
Wide awake in the middle of the night
Got my heart stuck in a twist
Happiness was for other people
I stayed away like a masochist

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm broken in so many ways
Maybe I shouldn't try to change

[Chorus]
If I got rid of my demons, I'd lose my angels
There are so many reasons why life is painful
But I believe that what I feel can set me free and God knows
If I got rid of my demons, I'd lose my angels

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, angels
Ooh-ooh, angels

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I get very high, very low
Never know where the wind could blow
Yes, I guess I like to be alone
Hit the crap like a rolling stone

[Pre-Chours 2]
I know I'm flawed in many ways
But maybe I don't need to change

[Chorus]
If I got rid of my demons, I'd lose my angels
There are so many reasons why life is painful
But I believe that what I feel can set me free and God knows
If I got rid of my demons, I'd lose my angels

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, angels
Ooh-ooh, angels

[Bridge]
And I still wonder (Wonder, wonder)
How I got buried under (Under, under)
I guess I'm always waiting (Waiting to be fixed)
But maybe this is it (This is it, this is it)

[Chorus]
If I got rid of my demons, I'd lose my angels
There are so many reasons why life is painful
But I believe that what I feel can set me free and God knows
If I got rid of my demons, I'd lose my angels

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, angels
Ooh-ooh, angels
Ooh-ooh, angels
Ooh-ooh, angels
Ooh-ooh, angels
Ooh-ooh, angels

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.
