 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 I throw it all away

oh I throw it all away

like throwing faces at the sky

 like throwing arms around

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...

 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

 and 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...
