Just Desserts
Marina And The Diamonds & Charli XCX Lyrics

Oh heartbreak's hard when you don't have a plastic heart,
Heartbreak is difficult when you have a real heart, unlike mine, which isn't affected.

You sent me in through the cinnamon stars,
You led me to believe in something sweet and wonderful that didn't really exist, making me feel foolish.

‘Cause you tasted so bitter but the bitter was sweet,
You seemed charming and attractive, but you were actually cold and cruel.

I'm the lovelorn princess and I'm yours to eat.
I was helplessly in love with you and you took full advantage of it.

I gave you too much, gave you too much to touch,
I gave you everything I had, but you never appreciated it.

was the hardcore Iron through the velvet glove,
I was tough and uncompromising underneath my surface kindness and affection.

You were a lullaby, and you had me blind.
You lulled me into a false sense of security and I wasn't able to see the truth about you.

But now I laugh ‘cause you're the one,
I find it funny that you're now the one experiencing heartache.

Who's being left behind, I see you cry
You're the one who is now suffering, and I'm enjoying seeing you hurt.

Now that the shoe's on the other foot.
Now that you're experiencing what I once did.

You suddenly decided to knock on wood,
You're now superstitious, hoping to avoid the bad luck that is coming your way.

Wakin' everybody in the neighborhood,
You feel the need to proclaim your innocence and tarnish my reputation.

Tellin' everbody that I'm no good.
You're trying to make others think that I'm the one who caused problems, not you.

Karma came around like I knew it would,
Your bad actions have caught up with you, as they inevitably would.

And it feels so good when the shoe is put,
It's satisfying to see things turned around so you can experience what you put me through.

On the other foot.
Now that the roles have been reversed.

Yeah, baby, I know that it hurts,
I understand that you're in pain.

When you're about to get your just desserts.
You're finally getting what you deserve.

Harder than glittering cars,
Heartbreak is tougher than any material possessions or status symbols.

Harder than livin' life fast,
Heartbreak is tougher than living life recklessly and without care.

Harder than crashin' and burnin',
Heartbreak is tougher than experiencing failure or making mistakes.

Hope that you learned your lesson.
Hopefully, this experience will teach you to treat people better.

They always said I was a mess of a girl,
People have always had negative opinions of me.

Ever since you stepped your toes into my perfect world.
Ever since you entered my life, things went wrong.

You flipped me upside down but I see clear from here,
You turned my world around, but I can now see things more objectively.

That you're a mess of a boy, you'll cry these tears for years,
You're a mess yourself and you'll be suffering from this heartbreak for a long time.

Look in the mirror babe.
Take a good look at yourself.

Baby, revenge is sweet,
Getting back at you feels great.

When I am playing you on repeat.
I love listening to songs that remind me of how you hurt me.

Karma came back like you knew it would,
The consequences of your bad actions have arrived, as you should have expected.
