A Letter To Elise

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. at all...
