Elephant in the Room
Unveiling Unspoken Feelings: Elephant in the Room by Amanda McCarthy
Lyrics
It seems we have ourselves a little situation
Describing a challenging situation
Just a bit of an alienation
Feeling a sense of isolation
Conflict of interest, crash landing at best
Conflict of interest, a difficult situation
Pushin' and pullin' and kickin' and screamin'
Struggling and resisting intensely
All in my head but you don't know the reason
Internal turmoil without apparent cause
It's like a bad drug boiling in my blood
Negative emotions intensifying
Still contemplating excuses for waiting
Reflecting on reasons for delay
The consequence it lays
Consequences of actions becoming evident
On the words I know I'll never say
Awareness of unspoken words
So what do I do when there's an elephant in the room?
Dealing with an obvious problem
An unexpected rendezvous, seems to me I spoke too soon
Realizing a premature statement
Oh what do I say when it's rack-rack-racking upon my brain
Feeling pressure and stress
I can't lie to hide the truth anymore
Choosing not to hide the truth
You're just not what I'm looking for
Admitting a lack of compatibility
I never thought I'd have to be the one to tell you
Taking responsibility for communication
Break it down after all that we've been through
Breaking down despite shared history
Thought that you'd get it, don't sweat it, forget it
Expecting understanding but willing to let go
My face is turning red and now my tummy's turning green
Physical and emotional discomfort
I'm afraid I might say something I don't quite mean
Fear of saying something hurtful
There's no pretending for a happy ending
No pretending for a happy ending
Still contemplating excuses for waiting
Continuing to think about reasons for delay
The consequence it lays
Consequences affecting mental well-being
On the words I know I'll never say
Acknowledging unspoken words
So what do I do when there's an elephant in the room?
Addressing the presence of a significant issue
An unexpected rendezvous, seems to me I spoke too soon
Realizing premature expression of thoughts
Oh what do I say when it's rack-rack-racking upon my brain
Feeling mental strain and pressure
I can't lie to hide the truth anymore
Choosing honesty over deception
You're just not what I'm looking for
Expressing a lack of alignment
Still contemplating excuses for waiting
Still considering reasons for delay
My sanity it lays
Impact on mental stability
On the words I know I'll never say
Acknowledging unspoken words affecting sanity
So what do I do when there's an elephant in the room?
Facing the challenge of addressing a significant issue
An unexpected rendezvous, seems to me I spoke too soon
Realizing the timing was premature
Oh what do I say when it's rack-rack-racking upon my brain
Experiencing mental pressure and stress
I can't lie to hide the truth anymore
Choosing truth over concealment
You're just not what I'm looking for
Reiterating a lack of compatibility
Not what I'm looking for
Confirming that the person is not the desired match
So what do I do when there's an elephant in the room?
Addressing the challenge of dealing with an obvious problem
