Lyric

Started with a little extra snack at night

Just one more bite, then another bite

Said I’d walk it off, said I’d be alright

But the mirror told me something wasn’t right

Used to wear my old blue jeans with ease

Now I pull them up and hold my breath, please

Laugh it off, say “maybe it’s the laundry”

But deep down I know what’s happening to me

A little rounder every week

A little softer in my cheeks

I didn’t notice day by day

But now I feel the change

I get fat, a little bit at a time

One late-night meal, one sweet little lie

I get fat, and I can’t say I’m surprised

It’s in the soda, fries, and midnight pies

I get fat, slow enough to miss the sign

Fast enough to see it in a different light

I get fat, yeah it’s true, that’s that

One more snack and I get fat

Then the stairs started feeling kind of steep

And I’d promise things I never really keep

“Tomorrow morning I’ll begin again”

But tomorrow night I’m ordering with friends

Shirts got tighter at the waist and chest

Still I told myself I’m doing my best

There’s always birthdays, weekends, rainy weather

And somehow all the pounds just came together

A little heavier in frame

A little harder to explain

I didn’t mean to let it go

But now it’s starting to show

I get fat, a little bit at a time

One comfort meal, one more excuse to hide

I get fat, and I laugh but something stings

When I hear my old self in smaller things

I get fat, slow enough to call it fate

Fast enough to know I maybe ate too late

I get fat, yeah it’s true, that’s that

One more snack and I get fat

Every cookie had a reason

Every winter stayed a season

Every “cheat day” turned routine

Every craving felt like me

Now I stand in brighter light

Trying not to start a fight

With the body that I made

With the choices that I saved

I get fat, a little bit at a time

Not all at once, just one more slice of life

I get fat, and I’m still here in the glass

Learning how to face the girl I am at last

I get fat, yeah it’s true, no turning back

From the little things that slowly fill the stack

I get fat, and I sing it just like that

One more day, and I get fat

A little bit at a time

A little bit at a time

One more snack

And I get fat
