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...
