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

Prevod na srpski

Pismo Eliz

Oh Eliz, možeš reći šta god hoćeš
Ja prosto ne mogu da se držim prošlosti
Da nastavim da se pretvaram
Onako kako je svaki
naš osmeh lažan
Zaboravi
I pravi se da nam nikad nije trebalo
Ništa više od ovoga
Ništa više od ovoga

Oh Eliz, šta god uradila
Znam da nikad neću dopreti do tebe
Da ti oči zasijaju
Onako kako bi trebalo
Onako kako bi me plavetnilo privuklo
Samo kad bi moglo
Samo kad bi moglo
Bar bih se rešio ovog osećaja da osećam nešto drugo
Što se skriva
Od mene i tebe
Treba razdvojiti svetove
Sa žudnjom u očima i slomljenim srcima
I svim molitvama koje tvoje ruke mogu da izdrže
Oh, ja prosto uzimam sve što nudiš
Pa onda sve to odbacim
Oh ja sve to odbacujem
Kao kad pred nebom slažeš face*
Kao kad grliš jedno
Juče
Stojao sam i zurio
Raskolačenih očiju pred tobom
A to lice koje sam video uzvratilo mi je pogledom
Onako kako sam želeo
Ali ja prosto ne mogu da zaustavim suze
Kao ti

Eliz, veruj da mi ovo nije bila namera
Mislio sam da ću ovog puta držati obećanja
Mislio sam da si ona prava o kojoj sam oduvek sanjao
Ali taj san sam zaboravio
I prekršio obećanja
I nema više pretvaranja

Oh Eliz, možeš reći šta god hoćeš
Ja prosto ne mogu da se držim prošlosti
Da nastavim da se pretvaram
Onako kako je svaki
naš osmeh lažan
Zaboravi
I pravi se da nam nikad nije trebalo
Ništa više od ovoga
Ništa više od ovoga
