THE CURE lyrics : "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 suns away through my clutching hands
but there's nothing else i can really do
there's nothing else

i can really do
at all...
