Intolerant
Ylvis Lyrics

Since the day you walked into my life
I knew that my life was about to change, but I didn't know how

I knew that it was meant to be
I thought that destiny brought us together, but maybe it was a mistake

So why am I lying sleepless at night
I can't stop thinking about what could go wrong

So scared that you'll be leavin' me
I'm afraid of losing you, and that thought is terrifying

'Cause the secret thet I carry inside
I have a medical condition that I haven't told you about

I'm afraid that it will make you see
I fear that once you find out, you won't love me anymore

What I am, what I'm not
My identity is tied to this condition, and it affects how I see myself

This disease that I've got deep inside of me
My condition is a part of me, but it's also something that I struggle with every day

I can't drink what you drink
There are certain foods and drinks that I can't have because of my condition

I'm different
My condition sets me apart from others, and that makes me feel isolated

No more lies, painful cries
I can't keep hiding my condition, it's causing me emotional distress

I'm so different
My condition makes me feel like an outsider, like I don't belong

I can't take another cake
I need to be careful about what I eat, and that means avoiding certain desserts

I'm intolerant
My condition makes me intolerant to certain foods or substances

So intolerant
I feel like my intolerance sets me apart from others, and that makes me sad

You turn around and look into my eyes
You seem to sense that something is wrong, and you want to know more

And say 'boy, I've got a secret too'
You're trying to connect with me by sharing a secret of your own

If you keep offering me bread all the time
You're not aware of my condition, and you keep offering me foods that I can't eat

I cannot spend my life with you
If we can't find a way to share our needs and limitations, our relationship can't survive

Now I see it's not just me
I'm not the only one who struggles with a medical condition or dietary restriction

Who's different
We both feel like outsiders, and that's a bond that we share

It's like a curse, even worse
Living with a condition that sets us apart feels like a heavy burden, and it's hard to bear

You are different
I'm acknowledging the ways in which your needs and limitations differ from mine

Trace of rye, you could die
Your condition is more severe than mine, and it could be life-threatening

You're intolerant
Your condition makes you intolerant to certain foods or substances

Suddenly now I see
Our shared experience has opened my eyes to a new perspective

We are tolerant
We've learned how to accommodate and respect each other's needs and limitations

Now we've found common ground
We've discovered that we have more in common than we thought, and that's a great relief

Finally, you and me
Our relationship has become stronger and more meaningful because of the challenges we've faced together

So tolerant
We've learned to be patient, compassionate, and understanding towards each other

And intolerant
We still struggle with our conditions, but we're better equipped to handle them with each other's support
