You wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it, Wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it, Eh, eh, eh You wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it, Wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it, Eh, eh, eh How you doing? How was your day? Small talk, small talk, you wanna play? You getting further, further away, No kiss No hug Just blank And I just can't figure out, How it all turned upside down And when I look at you right now, it's strange 'cause I know something's going on That's going on with you I think you should tell me You got nothing left to lose Ah, there's an elephant, standing in the room Ah, though we're all alone, It's not just me and you You wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it Wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it (eh, eh, eh) You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it There's an elephant in the room Oh, you wanna, wanna explain Well your talk is cheap cheap just saying You say you're sorry, say you're to blame, And you're promising, you swear you'll change And I just can't figure out, How it all turned upside down And when I look at you right now, it's strange 'cause I know something's going on That's going on with you I think you should tell me You got nothing left to lose Ah, there's an elephant standing in the room Ah, though we're all alone, It's not just me and you You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it Wanna talk, you wanna talk about it (eh, eh, eh) You wanna talk, you wanna talk about it There's an elephant in the room And it's crushing me, there's no room to breathe Got me backed against the wall, like that And I just can't see, 'cause it's blinding me Coming closer, I can't relax (oh, ah) You wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it Wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it (eh, eh, eh) You wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it Wanna talk, do you wanna talk about it (eh, eh, eh) There's an elephant in the room
