Lyrics Larkin Poe – Elephant
Text:
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room, room, room
Is a lie still a lie if the words are never spoken
Can a heart still be broken without an act of violence
Loopholes, find a breach, add it up a figure of speech
You skirt around and tell me lies
That sound a lot like silence
‘Cause you never really had the nerve
Did you think I needed it to
Be better than it really was
Did you think, did you
Think, oh that I couldn’t really handle it
Did you think I needed it to be
Better than it really was
By biting back the truth
So you turn your back
Like you can’t even see it, see it
Tell me that I’m making it up
As you turn your back
Saying «quit make believing»
Oh, oh, oh, you better tell me the truth
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room, room, room
x2
Tongue-tied, so you justify
Spin the bottle back on me
You push the throttle
Crank the heat
With wounded pride and righteous anger
When did you become a stranger
Welcome home, my lying lover
You and I are not alone
‘Cause you never really had the nerve
Did you think I needed it to be
Better than it really was
Did you think, did you
Think, oh that I couldn’t really handle it
Did you think I needed it to be
Better than it really was
By biting back the truth
So you turn your back
Like you can’t even see it, see it
Tell me that I’m making it up
As you turn your back
Saying «quit make believing»
Oh, oh, oh, you better tell me the truth
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room, room, room
x2
So you turn your back
Like you can’t even see it, see it
Tell me that I’m making it up
As you turn your back
Saying «quit make believing»
As you try to brush it under the rug
But I can see it clearly
There’s an elephant in the room
Better tell me the truth…
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room now
It’s in the room, room, room
x4
