[Intro]
I'm just the elephant in the room
What's your best excuse?
(What's your best excuse?)
I'm just the elephant in the room

[Verse 1]
Do you really wanna be the one
That makes this so uncomfortable tonight? Yeah
When you could be one to set the record straight
You think it's not the perfect time
I wish I could be the one to make it easy
But I'll remind ya that you're gonna hurt some feelings
So you slide around the issues and lay low
Heaven forbid you gotta dirty up the halo

[Pre-Chorus]
So, I'm not gonna let this go
Don't know what you're waiting for
I'm not gonna let you go, so

[Chorus]
I'm just the elephant in the room
What's your best excuse?
(What's your best excuse?)
I'm just the elephant in the room
Better think this through
(Think this through)
You don't wanna talk about your feelings
I'll be in the corner with the reasons
I'm just the elephant
I'm just the elephant in the room
[Post-Chorus]
In the room

[Verse 2]
I'm gonna be the darkest secret
That you can't forget and keep back in your mind (My mind)
So when people ask what's wrong with you
You can't explain what's killing you inside (Inside)
I don't know why you gotta cheat on what you stand for
You try to look away but I'm too big to ignore
I can lay off if you say so
A guilty conscious is obnoxious with no pay though

[Pre-Chorus]
So, I'm not gonna let this go
Don't know what you're waiting for
I'm not gonna let you go, so

[Chorus]
I'm just the elephant in the room
What's your best excuse?
(What's your best excuse?)
I'm just the elephant in the room
Better think this through
(Think this through)
You don't wanna talk about your feelings
I'll be in the corner with the reasons
I'm just the elephant
I'm just the elephant in the room
[Post-Chorus]
In the room
