A Letter To Elise Lyrics

                    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...
