Demi Lovato - Melon Cake Lyrics

Demi Lovato Lyrics

"Melon Cake"

There was a time
I was living as a prisoner inside my own mind
And there was a time
Where the cat and mouse tried to make me
Barbie sized and I obliged

Pulled leather over my eyes in a hundred degree heat
People out here getting fired for chocolate in the back seat
(True story)
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap
People always hung around who only wanted skin deep

And now I'm saying
No more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

You could find me
Starving for attention most days
Amongst others things, god help me
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

No more melon cake
There was a time
I was pulled in all directions and forgot about mine
But I wouldn't wish
Those thoughts on my worst enemy
They make you wish you don't exist

Pulled leather over my eyes in a hundred degree heat
People out here getting fired for chocolate in the back seat
I had too much of my fill and turns out it wasn't cheap
People always hung around who only wanted skin deep

And now I'm saying
No more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

You could find me
Starving for attention most days
Amongst others things, god help me
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

No more melon cake
No more melon cake
No more melon cake
No more melon cake

Dear little me
I'm sorry that it took so long
But, baby, you're free

And now I'm saying
No more melon cakes on birthdays
No more barricades in doorways
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

You could find me
Starving for attention most days
Amongst others things, god help me
Finally get to do things my way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la

No more melon cake

"Melon Cake" is about Demi Lovato's former management team that controlled her diet due to her eating disorder. She explained to Apple Music, "I used to eat melon cake on my birthday in place of an actual birthday cake. It was this watered-down, diet version of a birthday cake that was basically fat-free 'Cool Whip' or coconut cream on top of a watermelon cut like a cake. It was never the vibe. The song is me saying goodbye to melon cake." Speaking with Ellen DeGeneres during a March 2020 conversation Lovato also revealed, "I just felt like my life was so—and I hate to use this word—but it felt, like, controlled by so many people around me. If I was in my hotel room at night, they would take the phone out of the hotel room so I couldn't call room service. Or if there was fruit in my room, they took it out because that's extra sugar."
