[English]

Since the day you walked into my life
I knew that it was meant to be
So why am I lying sleepless at night
So scared that you'll be leavin' me
Cause the secret that I carry inside
I'm afraid that it will make you see
What I am
What i'm not
This disease
That I've got
Deep inside of me
I can't drink
What you drink
I'm different
No more lies
Painful cries
I'm so different
I can't take
Another cake
I'm intolerant
I'm intolerant
So intolerant
(ah I'm intolerant)
(ah so intolerant)
(I am intolerant. i-i-i-intolerant)
You turn around and look into my eyes and say
Boy, I've got a secret too
If you keep offering me bread all the time
I cannot spend my life with you
Now I see
It's not just me
Who's different (we're different)
It's like a curse
Even worse
You are different
Trace of rye
You could die
You're intolerant
You're intolerant
So intolerant
Suddenly
Now I see
We are tolerant
Now we've found
Common ground
We are tolerant
Finally
You and me
We are tolerant
We are tolerant
We are tolerant
Finally
You and me
We are tolerant
Finally
You and me
We're so tolerant
Finally
You and me
We are tolerant
So tolerant
And intolerant
