[Verse 1]
Looking for someone I could call a friend
Lost like a leaf blowing in the wind
Praying to a picture on the wall
But that won't do no good at all

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, father, I'm in trouble deep
Oh, mother, all I do is sleep
Oh, sister, can you feel my grief tonight?

[Chorus]
Not looking for a saviour
'Cause I'm the one to blame, yeah
Somebody tell me how can I survive
Not looking for a hero
But I can't even see how
I'm gonna make it out of this alive

[Verse 2]
I was always desperate to be saved
Mad at being loved, mad at change
Swaying like a sailor in the sea
Want someone to anchor me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ain't nothing that the Lord don't see
The lies, the guilt won't shelter me
I'm looking for security tonight

[Chorus]
Not looking for a saviour
'Cause I'm the one to blame, yeah
Somebody tell me how can I survive
Not looking for a hero
But I can't even see how
I'm gonna make it out of this alive

[Bridge]
Help me please, I need to speak to somebody
I'm feeling weak and I don't wanna believe
It's happening, it's happening to me
Save me
No, I'm not even asking for another chance
Not looking for a lover or another new romance
I've never been the type to ask somebody else
But tonight I'm asking for your help

[Chorus]
Not looking for a saviour
'Cause I'm the one to blame, yeah
Somebody tell me how can I survive
Not looking for a hero
But I can't even see how
I'm gonna make it out of this alive

[Outro]
Help me please, I need to speak to somebody
I'm feeling weak and I don't wanna believe
It's happening, it's happening to me
Save me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

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.
