Eloise Alterman - Tolerance

I gave my all, every last corner of meSipping the wine, talking in poetryDid you think of the fall, did it hurt you at allRipping the rug from under meThe silence is loud, you're not out in the crowdRight where you used to beThis is getting old, the older that I getI felt it coming for a whileBut hoped it'd be differentAnd the gut punch turns to sadnessAnd the sadness turns to tearsFalling just like I am, wondering how'd I end up hereAnd the memories turn to nightmaresYou can't help it when it hitsBut it builds your toleranceYou're at the Hollywood Bowl with your name on the starsWhile I sing the same songs in loud Hollywood barsBut you said you were evergreen, the hell does that even mean'Cause now we don't even speakThe silence is loud, you're not in the crowdBut you said that you'd always beAnd the gut punch turns to sadnessAnd the sadness turns to tearsFalling just like I am, wondering how'd I end up hereAnd the memories turn to nightmaresYou can't help it when it hitsBut it builds your toleranceI don't need your screw top champagneThe promises you just say to sayYou're sorry, don't take it personallyNow it takes more than it used toAt twenty-six instead of twenty-twoYou said I needed strength and gritNow I got all of itNow I got all of itBuilding up my toleranceAnd the gut punch turns to sadnessAnd the sadness turns to tearsFalling just like I am, wondering how'd I end up hereAnd the memories turn to nightmaresYou can't help it when it hitsOh, but it builds your toleranceOh, it builds your toleranceOhI gave you my all, every last corner of me
