Elephant Lyrics

You know just what you want to say

Afraid I'll feel some kind of way

But intuition tells no lies

Speak on what you feel inside

And I tried

But in the end you still felt alone

And you tried

We ran too far to find our way back home

Letting go while there's still love

Salvage what is left

Before it turns to stone

Letting go and moving on

Falling free headlong into a new normal

Our future days now in the past

The world we made reduced to ash

But in the ruins flowers bloom

The seed we planted has deep roots

You kiss me for the last time

The levees of my eyes almost break

As I

See memories rushing by and by

Flickering then going dark like fireflies

Won't chase what's lost

Not worth the cost

Yearning for what was tortures a tender heart

Realize that we've come to an end

Let the truth wash over I'll start again

I am winter

Still and hibernating

Chilled not frozen

Alone but not lonely

New territory

Frightening, fascinating self-discovery

The space between us had no name

We gave it voice

It's had its say

Honored our grief

Tended the scars

There's nothing else to do but part
