Текст Larkin Poe – Elephant

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

Tongue-tied, so you justify

‘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
