Hey Stephen, we know looks can be deceiving, but it’s clearly a pizza 🍕

all too well: “so casually cruel in the name of being honest”

mr. perfectly fine: “mr. casually cruel”

last kiss: “you told me you loved so why did you go away?”

mr. perfectly fine: “mr. looked me in the eye and told me you’d never go away”

how you get the girl: “when you left her all alone and never told her why”

mr. perfectly fine: “mr. never told me why”

I knew you were trouble: “no apologies, he’ll never see you cry”

mr. perfectly fine: “mr. never had to see me cry”

dear John: “long were the nights when my days once revolved around you”

mr. perfectly fine: “mr. everything revolves around you”

the story of us: “I used to know my spot next to you, now I’m searching the room for an empty seat”

mr. perfectly fine: “sashay your way to your seat. it’s the best seat in the best room”

white horse: “it’s too late for you and your white horse to catch me now”

mr. perfectly fine: “someday maybe you’ll miss me but by then you’ll be mr. too late”

style: “i heard, oh, that you’ve been out and about with some other girl”
