"Elephant" lyrics

There's a great, big elephant up in this room
Though we both refuse to face it, we know it's true, know it's true
That there's a great, big elephant up in this room
And still we both can't say the words
"I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you"

Don't know if I should retreat or defend
Or if this is too broken to mend
Can't remember what we're fighting for anymore
I know you're in me but I'm still alone
We got this house but I don't feel at home
And though your arms are around me
I feel the cold, feel the cold

We used to beat so hard (ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom)
Yea you could feel our hearts (ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom)
I'm trying to find some life but all I get is a flat-line
Cause

There's a great, big elephant up in this room
Though we both refuse to face it, we know it's true, know it's true
That there's a great, big elephant up in this room
And still we both can't say the words
"I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you"

We shoot to injure but never to kill
A roller coaster, but lived out the thrill
We put it all on the black in a losing game, but still we play
How can I move on when you're all I know?
I forgot how to be on my own
But is that a reason for me to stay? I'm so afraid

We used to beat so hard (ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom)
Yea you could feel our hearts (ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom)
I'm trying to find some life but all I get is a flat-line
Cause

There's a great, big elephant up in this room
Though we both refuse to face it, we know it's true, know it's true
That there's a great, big elephant up in this room
And still we both can't say the words
"I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you"

Oh, I'm trying to save us from drowning
Yea, but this distance between us is growing
We went from running free, running fast
To walking on broken glass
Oh, oh, oh
Still I can't seem to let you go

There's a great, big elephant up in this room
Though we both refuse to face it, we know it's true, know it's true
That there's a great, big elephant up in this room
And still we both can't say the words
"I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you"

There's a great, big elephant up in this room
Though we both refuse to face it, we know it's true, know it's true
That there's a great, big elephant up in this room
And still we both can't say the words
"I don't want you, I don't want you, I don't want you"
