Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
Every way to smile, forget
And make-believe we never needed
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 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
Like throwing faces at the sky
Yesterday, I stood and stared
Wide-eyed in front of you
And the face I saw looked back
But I just can't hold my tears away
Elise believe I never wanted this
I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
I thought you were the girl
So Elise it doesn't matter what you say
I just can't stay here every yesterday
Like keep on acting out the same
Every way to smile, forget
And make-believe we never needed
