"Elephant" lyrics - LARKIN POE

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
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

Tongue-tied, so you justify
You lack of words
By feeling hurt
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
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

So you turn your back
Like you can't even 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
