Tolerance

I gave my all, every last corner of me
Sipping the wine, talking in poetry
Did you think of the fall, did it hurt you at all
Ripping the rug from under me
The silence is loud, you're not out in the crowd
Right where you used to be
This is getting old, the older that I get
I felt it coming for a while
But hoped it'd be different
And the gut punch turns to sadness
And the sadness turns to tears
Falling just like I am, wondering how'd I end up here
And the memories turn to nightmares
You can't help it when it hits
But it builds your tolerance

You're at the Hollywood Bowl with your name on the stars
While I sing the same songs in loud Hollywood bars
But you said you were evergreen, the hell does that even mean
'Cause now we don't even speak
The silence is loud, you're not in the crowd
But you said that you'd always be
And the gut punch turns to sadness
And the sadness turns to tears
Falling just like I am, wondering how'd I end up here
And the memories turn to nightmares
You can't help it when it hits
But it builds your tolerance

I don't need your screw top champagne
The promises you just say to say
You're sorry, don't take it personally
Now it takes more than it used to
At twenty-six instead of twenty-two
You said I needed strength and grit
Now I got all of it
Now I got all of it
Building up my tolerance

And the gut punch turns to sadness
And the sadness turns to tears
Falling just like I am, wondering how'd I end up here
And the memories turn to nightmares
You can't help it when it hits
Oh, but it builds your tolerance
Oh, it builds your tolerance
Oh
I gave you my all, every last corner of me
