Lyrics

There is an elephant, in the room
 And we both know
 We're gonna have to talk about it soon
 We made space for him in the corner there
 And we go on and act
 As if there isn't anybody there
 We built this home
 Just you and I
 And then we locked the door
 And hope nobody else comes by
 The way I was raised
 It pulls and tugs to me
 Sometimes I'm blinded by emotions and I can't see
 When we fell in love
 You belonged to no one
 Why would I chain
 Or shackle you to my jealousy
 Oh the human heart
 Is large beyond compare
 Only a fool would be so cruel as not to share
 I wanna see, her shining bright
 Not locked up in some dark cage in the dead of night
 Why can't I tell you
 The way I really feel,
 Like my dishonesty and my ego made a deal
 That when we desire
 The touch of someone else
 We just conspire
 To keep those feeling to ourselves
 Why can't the rules be less defined?
 How can you call it art
 When you're sticking to a dotted line?
 Oh my heart, is torn in two
 One half's on the road
 And the other remains with you
 One half's on the road
 And the other remains with you
 I do not grasp
 And I do not own
 This life's been changing
 And impermanent so long
 We can adapt or maybe we could divorce
 We could jump ship
 Or we can easily change course
 Why can't the rules be less defined?
 How can you call it art
 When you're sticking to a dotted line?
 Oh my heart, is torn in two
 One half's on the road
 And the other remains with you
 One half's on the road
 And the other remains with you
