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.

Marrying a man like Charles Lexington would be a dream come true for most women. He's successful, wealthy - why, he even supports you without expecting you to do much of anything. And his demands aren't high - all he expects is for you to be the dutiful wife he asked you to be when he married you.

He doesn't seem to notice if you need anything more than that from him. Anything that feels like love should feel between husband and wife. That's how he's always been.

After all, he's so much older and wiser, and he's always provided for you - what more could you possibly want?

This is part 3 out of... who knows how many, of my #lyricstolovers series. You can check the hashtag to see the others I've done! This one is based off of Tolerate It, by Taylor Swift. I've also included a few references to the novel Rebecca, by Daphne du Maurier - the book the song was originally based on! Enjoy ♥
