The Elephant

[Verse 1]
In the room, there's a couch from my brother
A lamp from your mother, a house warming living room rug
An old picture of us

[Verse 2]
In the room, there's a plant soon to be dead
A tear drop on my dress, questions we're dancing around
The truth staring both of us down

[Chorus]
You don't wanna ask
I don't wanna say
Takes up half the space but we still look away
Once upon a time
We had butterflies
But now it's just us two
And the elephant

[Verse 3]
In the room, there's a candle that's burned out
A silence that's too loud, a voice in my head that won't stop
A ring that went back in the box

[Chorus]
You don't wanna ask
I don't wanna say
Takes up half the space but we still look away
Once upon a time
We had butterflies
But now it's just us two
And the elephant

[Post-Chorus]
In the room
(Oooh-oooh)
In the room
(Oooh-oooh)

[Bridge]
Oh, it's just too sad, so why say it at all?
Even if it's two tons and ten feet tall

[Chorus]
You don't wanna ask
I don't wanna say
Takes up half the space but we still look away
Once upon a time
We had butterflies
But now it's just us two
And the elephant
