Elephant 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's saying
Don't waste your love
You love too much

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
