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 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...
