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 always dreamed about
|
but i let the dream go
|
and the promises broke
|
and the make-believe ran out...
|
|
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
|
|
and every time i try to pick it up
|
like falling sand
|
as fast as i pick it up
|
it suns away through my clutching hands
|
but there's nothing else i can really do
|
there's nothing else
|
i can really do
|
at all...
