A Letter To Elise Lyrics - Wish - The Cure

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 I 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 

There's nothing else I can really do at all
