Cover art for Cake lyrics by Melanie Martinez

This song is about Crybaby being in a toxic relationship with a person who just wants her for the sex and thinks of her as a piece of cake that he can just discard and walk away with the frosting of her heart, and leave Crybaby to feel used. The relationship has all of the ingredients except him loving and needing Crybaby. She finally says that if she's just a piece of cake to him, then he's just a piece of meat to her.
