Tolerate It

I sit and watch you reading with your head low

I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed

I sit and watch you

I notice everything you do or don't do

You're so much older and wiser and I

——————

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid

Use my best colors for your portrait

Lay the table with the fancy shit

And watch you tolerate it

If it's all in my head tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it

——————

I greet you with a battle hero's welcome

I take your indiscretions all in good fun

I sit and listen

I polish plates until they gleam and glisten

You're so much older and wiser and I

——————

I wait by the door like I'm just a kid

Use my best colors for your portrait

Lay the table with the fancy shit

And watch you tolerate it

If it's all in my head tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But 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 sky

Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life

Drawing hearts in the byline

Always taking up too much space or time

You assume I'm fine

But what would you do if I

——————

Break free and leave us in ruins

Took this dagger in me and removed it

Gain the weight of you then lose it

Believe me, I could do it

If it's all in my head tell me now

Tell me I've got it wrong somehow

I know my love should be celebrated

But you tolerate it

我坐着看你低着頭讀書

我醒來，看着你閉着眼睛呼吸

我坐下來看着你

我注意到你做或不做的每件事

你比我年長，也比我睿智

——————

我在門口等着，就像個孩子

用我最好的顏色畫你的肖像

用花裏胡塗的東西鋪桌子

看着你忍受它

如果一切都是我的想法，現在就告訴我

告訴我我怎麼弄錯了

我知道我的愛應該被慶祝

但你卻能忍受

——————

我以迎接戰鬥英雄般的歡迎方式向你表示歡迎

我把你的不檢點當作一種樂趣

我坐着傾聽

我把盤子擦得閃閃發光

你比我年長，也比我睿智

——————

我在門口等着，就像個孩子

用我最好的顏色畫你的肖像

用花裏胡塗的東西鋪桌子

看着你忍受它

如果一切都是我的想法，現在就告訴我

告訴我我怎麼弄錯了

我知道我的愛應該被慶祝

但你卻能忍受

——————

當你在構建其他世界的時候，我在哪裏

那個把毯子蓋在我鐵絲網上的人在哪裏

我讓你成為我的殿堂，我的壁畫，我的天空

現在我只求成為你人生故事裏的註腳

在署名中畫一顆心

總是佔用太多的空間或時間

你以為我沒事

你會怎麼辦，如果我...

——————

如果我掙脱束縛，讓我們成為廢墟

把這支匕首插進我的身體，拔了出來

記住你然後忘了你

相信我，我能做到

如果一切都是我的想法，現在就告訴我

告訴我我怎麼弄錯了

我知道我的愛應該被慶祝

但你卻能忍受
