A Letter to Elise
-----------------

oh elFise it doesn't matter wFhat you say
I just can't stay hegre every yesterday
like keep oBn acting out the same

the way we act out
Fevery way to smile

forget
and Fmake-believe we never needed
gany more than this
Bany more than this

oh eFlise it doesn't matter Fwhat you do
I know i'll nevegr really get inside of you
to make your Beyes catch fire

the way they should
Fthe way the blue could pull me in
if they Fonly would

if they only would
at gleast I'd lose this sensBe of sensing something else

that hides away
Ffrom me and you

there're worlds to part
with Faching looks and breaking hearts
and gall the prayers your hands can make
oh BI just take as much as you can throw
Fand then I throw it all away
Foh I throw it all away
glike throwing faces at the sky
like Bthrowing arms around
Fyesterday

I stood and stared
wide-ciseyed in front of you
and Fthe face I saw looked back
the way I ciswanted to
but I Fjust can't hold my tears away
the cisway you do

elBise believecis I never wanted this
I Bthought this time I'cisd keep all of my promises
I Bthought you were the gircisl always dreamed about
but I glet the dream go
and the Bpromises broke
and the make-belFieve ran out...

so eFlise
it doesn't matter Fwhat you say
I just can't stay hegre every yesterday
like keep oBn acting out the same

the way we act out
Fevery way to smile

forget
and Fmake-believe we never needed
gany more than this
Bany more than this

and Fevery time I try toF pick it up

like falling sand
gas fast as I pick it up
it runs aBway through my clutching hands
and there's Fnothing else I can really do
Fthere's nothing else I can really do
gthere's nothing else I can really do
at Ball...

OH, ELISE IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
JUST CANT STAY HERE EVERY YESTERDAY
KEEP ON ACTING, ACTING OUT THE SAMR WE ACT OUT
YESTERDAY TO SMILE FORGET
AND MAKE BELIEVE WE NEVER NEEDED ANY MORE THAN THIS
ANYMORE THAN THIS.

OH,ELISE IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
I KNOW ILL NEVER REALLY GET INSIDE OF YOU
TO MAKE YOUR EYES CATCH FIRE THE WAY THEY SHOULD.
IF THE BLUE COULD PULL ME IN IF THEY ONLY COULD
IF THEY ONLY WOULD
PERHAPS ID LOSE THIS SENSE OF SENSING SOMETHING ELSE THAT HIDES AWAY
FROM ME TO YOU THEY'RE WORLD'S APART
WITH ACHING LIPS AND BREAKING HEARTS
AND ALL THE PRYERS YOUR HANDS CAN MAKE
OH I JUST TAKE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN THROW THEN GIVE IT ALL AWAY
OH I GIVE IT ALL AWAY
LIKE THROWING HALOS AT THE SKY
OH YESTERDAY I STOOD AND STARED WIDED EYED IN FRONT OF YOU
AND THE CFFF I SAW LOOKED BACK THE WAY I WANTED TO
BUT I JUST CANT HOLD BACK MY TEARS THE WAY YOU DO
ELISE BELIEVE I NEVER WANTED THIS
I THOUGHT THIS TIME I'B KEEP ALL OF MY PROMISES
I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE GIRL I ALWAYS DREAMED ABOUT
BUT I LET THE DREAM GO
AND THE PROMISES WERE THE MAKE BELIEVE THAT I........

REPEAT 1ST VERSE
SPOKEN PART
EVERY TIME TRY TO PICK IT UP LIKE FALLING RAIN
AS FAST AS I PICK IT UP IT RUNS AWAY THROUGH MY CLUTCHING HANDS
OH THERES NOTHING MORE I CAN REALLY DO
THERES NOTHING MORE I CAN REALLY SAY
THERE'S NOTHING MORE I CAN REALLY DO AT ALL.
