You can listen
Or walk away
I'll understand if you dont want to hear
What I have to tell
But remember
That one day you'll see
The extra weight will soon get a say
They may call me fat
And you may agree
And you may choose to see
And you may choose to leave
I will be strong through it all
For it's not just me anymore
I will be strong through it all
Even without you
If you stay you'll never have to wonder
Because I'll never come back
If you push me away
Keep us close
So you can see
Our child grow up like you and me
