Elephant

Written by Nina Persson and Mark Linkous

LYRICS
I caught you smiling
With pointed teeth
What once was beautiful
Has turned bitter and cheap
So now there’s nothing I can do for you
But leave your roses out to die
I misbehaved
I’m in your way
I’m in your way like an elephant
Gentle smiling
With pointed teeth
Now there’s a war between
My high hopes and me
So this is how you put an end to things
By cutting throats with a smile
I misbehaved
I’m in your way
In your way like an elephant
But in the corner of my mind
A little angel saying
Don“t waste your love
You love too much
