"The Elephant" lyrics

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

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

You don't wanna ask
And 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...

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

You don't wanna ask
And 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...

In the room
(Ooh)
In the room
(Ooh)

Oh, it's just too sad so why say it at all?
Even if it's 2 tons and 10 feet tall...

You don't wanna ask
And 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
