Tolerate It Song Lyrics by Taylor Swift
I sit and watch you reading with yourHead lowI wake and watch you breathing with yourEyes closedI sit and watch youAnd notice everything you do or don’t doYou’re so much older and wiser and I
I wait by the door like I’m just a kidUse my best colors for your portraitLay the table with the fancy shitAnd watch you tolerate itIf it’s all in my head tell me nowTell me I’ve got it wrong somehowI know my love should be celebratedBut you tolerate it
I greet you with a battle hero’s welcomeI take your indiscretions all in good funI sit and listenI polish plates until they gleam and glistenYou’re so much older and wiser and I
I wait by the door like I’m just a kidUse my best colors for your portraitLay the table with the fancy shitAnd watch you tolerate itIf it’s all in my head tell me nowTell me I’ve got it wrong somehowI know my love should be celebratedBut you tolerate it
While you were out building other worlds, where was I?Where’s that man who’d throw blankets over my barbed wire?I made you my temple, my mural, my skyNow I’m begging for footnotes in the story of your lifeDrawing hearts in the bylineAlways taking up too much space or timeYou assume I’m fineBut what would you do if I, I
Break free and leave us in ruinsTook this dagger in me and removed itGain the weight of you then lose itBelieve me, I could do itIf it’s all in my head tell me nowTell me I’ve got it wrong somehowI know my love should be celebratedBut you tolerate it
I sit and watch you
