Counting Calories

Verse 1

My coworker says she’s fasting, just to "fit the trend"

My Instagram is flooded with some weird matcha blend

Another Sunday brunch where no one touches the potatoes

Counting every calorie like life is a death row

I watch you pick a small salad and sigh about your jeans

But you look at me and tell me I should balance out my greens

Chorus

And I know your worst nightmare is waking up looking like me

And that double standard’s honestly pathetic, don't you see?

I’m sitting at the table and you’re preaching to the choirI usually can stand you, but today you set me on fire!You look at me with pity, but I see the cage you’re in

What a sad, shallow life when your value’s a chin

Verse 2

You skip the slice of cake and say you’re being "good today"

While I eat what I want and watch you waste your life away

I spent four years crying, letting numbers rule my head

Now I’m taking up my space, and I’m breaking bread

You call it "unhealthy," I call it living life to the brim

Because your obsession with your body is wearing me thin

Bridge

I see you scrolling, comparing

Wishing you could be free

But you’re tearing yourself down

Just so you don’t look like me

Well, newsflash, darling—my body isn’t a mistake!"Fat" is just an adjective, not a life at stake!

I won’t shrink for you!I won’t shrink for you!

I will take up the space that is rightfully mine!

Chorus

And I know your worst nightmare is waking up looking like me

And that double standard’s honestly pathetic, don't you see?I’m sitting at the table and you’re preaching to the choir

I usually can stand you, but today you set me on fire!You look at me with pity, but I see the cage you’re in

What a sad, shallow life when your value’s a chin

Outro

There’s nothing wrong with my body.

I’ll give it what it needs.

I’m done watering your weeds.
