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    But you and me, we're worlds apart    With aching looks and breaking hearts    And all the plans your hands can make       Oh I just take as much as you can throw    And then I 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 hide 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...
