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 are 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'll 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 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
