Just Desserts

“Your heart breaks hard when you don’t have a plastic heart.
You sucked me in through the cinnamon stars,
‘Cause you’ve tasted so bitter but the bitter was sweet.
I’m the lovelorn princess and I’m yours to ear.
I gave you too much, gave you too much to touch,
Was the hardcore iron through the velvet glove.
You were a lullaby and you had me blind
But now I laugh because you’re the one who’s being left behind.
I see you cry now that the shoe’s on the other foot.

Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Waking everybody in the neighbourhood,
Telling everybody that I’m no good.
Karma came around like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would,
And it feels so good when the shoe is put
On the other foot.

Oh yeah, baby, I know it hurts
When you’re about to get your just desserts.

Oh, heart breaks hard,
Harder than glittering cars,
Harder than living life fast,
Harder than crashing and burning.
I hope that you learned your lesson.
They always said that I was a mess of a girl
Ever since you stepped your toes into my perfect world.
You flipped me upside down but I see clear from here
That you’re a mess of a boy, you’ll cry these tears for years.
Look in the mirror, baby,
Now that the shoe’s on the other foot, yeah.

I’m glad that you crashed and burned.
Guys like you, they never learn,
Never learn.
Baby, revenge is sweet
When I am playing,you on repeat.

Now that the shoe’s on the other foot
You suddenly decided to knock on wood
Waking everybody in the neighbourhood,
Telling everybody that I’m no good.
Karma came around like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would,
And it feels so good when the shoe is put
On the other foot,

Now that the shoe’s on the other foot,
Karma came back like I knew it would,
Like I knew it would.”

Oh yes, this is a dedication from Jonah and me to a person we used to know. Cheer up, buddy, it's Marina after all, you could get worse. And the ice cream was delicious.
Taken in Corso Buenos Aires, Milan, and the choice for the location was not random.
