A Letter To Elise
Oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
- Oh elise it doesn't matter what you say
- I just can't stay here every yesterday
- Like keep on acting out the same
- The way we act out
- Every way to smile forget
- And make-believe we never needed
- Any more than this
- Any more than this
- Oh elise it doesn't matter what you do
- I know i'll never really get inside of you
- To make your eyes catch fire
- The way they should
- The way the blue could pull me in
- If they only would if they only would
- At least i'd lose this sense of sensing
- Something else that hides away
- From me and you there're worlds to part
- With aching looks and breaking hearts
- And all the prayers your hands can make
- Oh i just take as much as you can throw
- And then throw it all away
- Oh i throw it all away
- Like throwing faces at the sky
- Like throwing arms round
- Yesterday i stood and stared wide-eyed in front of you
- And the face i saw looked back the way i wanted to
- But i just can't hold my tears away the way you do
- Elise believe i never wanted this
- I thought this time i'd keep all of my promises
- I thought you were the girl i always dreamed about
- But i let the dream go
- And the promises broke and the make-believe ran out
- So elise it doesn't matter what you say
- I just can't stay here every yesterday
- Like keep on acting out the same
- The way we act out
- Every way to smile forget
- And make-believe we never needed
- Any more than this
- Any more than this
- And every time i try to pick it up
- Like falling sand
- As fast as i pick it up
- It runs away through my clutching hands
- But there's nothing else i can really do
- There's nothing else i can really do
- There's nothing else i can really do
- At all
