The Cure – A Letter to Elise – 1992

    Paroles

    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 outSo 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
