"Elephant" lyrics
Felt like you came into my life and you stomped on my head
And you told everybody you knew about it
Saying it was something special 'till it was nothing at all
Guess you're not that sentimental but I know I'm memorable
You're walking around like you're happy
Like you're fine and you don't think about me
What about all your friends and your family?
Bet they wonder
What happened to that singer?
Yeah, the one that's from New York
Yeah, you met her with your brother
When you went out on that tour
Thinking "What the hell'd you do?"
But won't bring it up to you
Is it like you're at the zoo?
Is there a big, fat elephant in the room?
A big, fat elephant in the room
Your mother is liking my pictures, I bet that's upsetting
And your buddy's recording my lyrics about how I regret things
Oh, your roommate's playing music and I bet it sounds familiar
I know you just can't escape me and I bet that makes you bitter
You're walking around like you're happy
Like you're fine and you don't think about me
What about all your friends and your family?
Bet they wonder
What happened to that singer?
Yeah, the one that's from New York
Yeah, you met her with your brother
When you went out on that tour
Thinking "What the hell'd you do?"
But won't bring it up to you
Is it like you're at the zoo?
Is there a big, fat elephant in the room?
A big, fat elephant in the room
When you're with your new girlfriend
And my song is playing on the radio
She'll hear the words I sang
And ask "Is this someone you used to know?"
And you'll say no (You'll say no)
'Till you get home ('Till you get home)
And your folks say
What happened to that singer? (Oh)
Yeah, the one that's from New York
Yeah, you met her with your brother
When he went out on that tour (When he went out on that tour)
Thinking "What the hell'd you do?"
But won't bring it up to you
Is it like you're at the zoo? (Is it like you're at the zoo?)
Is there a big, fat elephant?
Oh, what happened to that singer?
Yeah, the one that's from New York (The one that's from New York)
Why'd you have to fuck her over?
Why'd you let her walk out the door? (Oh, you let her out the door)
Thinking "What the hell'd you do?"
But won't bring it up to you
Is your ego feeling bruised?
'Cause I'm telling all the truth
Does it make you all confused?
That they think I'm super cool
Is it like you're at the zoo?
Is there a big, fat elephant in the room?
And you told everybody you knew about it
Saying it was something special 'till it was nothing at all
Guess you're not that sentimental but I know I'm memorable
You're walking around like you're happy
Like you're fine and you don't think about me
What about all your friends and your family?
Bet they wonder
What happened to that singer?
Yeah, the one that's from New York
Yeah, you met her with your brother
When you went out on that tour
Thinking "What the hell'd you do?"
But won't bring it up to you
Is it like you're at the zoo?
Is there a big, fat elephant in the room?
A big, fat elephant in the room
Your mother is liking my pictures, I bet that's upsetting
And your buddy's recording my lyrics about how I regret things
Oh, your roommate's playing music and I bet it sounds familiar
I know you just can't escape me and I bet that makes you bitter
You're walking around like you're happy
Like you're fine and you don't think about me
What about all your friends and your family?
Bet they wonder
