The Cure - A Letter to Elise (lyrics)

[smallz1721]

The part about her eyes is perfection. I know.

[drivenmadnessband]

I love this song,

[lucaslux]

The BEST song EVER......... period.......

[mofochavno1]

Almost every The Cure are classics, love them love them love them

[littlemissdarkside1]

this is a heart breaking song we have all been there!

[kikemorfin]

Ive always loved Elise

[Muffiver]

<3



[hinchey19]

The cure is the greatest band of all time..and blink did a kick ass job of the cover...im glad they did it instead of someone else...they are true fans of smith.

[jaydoebud]

@hinchey19 The cure is up there with the Beatles, Floyd, Zep, etc but to honestly believe blink 182 should cover anything by the cure is musical blasphemy.

[shesalive1]

one of the worlds best songs ever constructed since adam and eve!

[Beatlestoner1234]

the cure is the best

[SydneeeyAndTaaave]

my name is elise ok so shut your mouth

[Muffiver]

@SydneeeyAndTaaave Elise has no taste. But it doesn't matter what you do, I know I'll never really get inside of you. ;P

[Gloogloo100]

I love Blink 182, but im disgusted that they would even try to cover a song from The Cure. I cant even admire their courage, because it's just plain stupid.

[JesseMChalmers]

@Gloogloo100 You might actually be an idiot. Have you considered that?

[humpaloompa]

@Gloogloo100 i thought their cover was good, it was just a tribute. mark's a big fan of the cure, i guess it was just a way to show their admiration

[lulypower]

Nice song... ...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...

[KateBeckinsaleMyWife]

I fucking love it !!!!!!!!!!! One of the best cure song, the tune is fucking awesome!!!

[Punkrocker269]

I would like to say that we eventually get over a broken heart ... but I ask myself ... Did I ever ???  these words still tear me up every time I hear the song ! Since I was 18 or so ... I have not found that unconditional love we all want . I just settled for whatever came my way Now at 46 it hurts again ...

[TheKatkat72]

@Punkrocker269 I don't think unconditional exsists...I think the older I get the less and less I believe in love and accept the fact that I never settled. But that doesn't make being alone any better. The make believe ran out..long ago.

[nickfiricano]

@TheKatkat72 Your not alone. I feel the same way...

[xAnaViCRx]

I love this song <3

[ashlovesgreenday]

So beautiful.

[DAMONTOMBANDET]

i love this song it reminds me of the bast times of my life. wen songs wear so a live. not like most songs to day. I give it ten stars a song for then and now my hat goes of to the cure. i will ways thank of this good good song. thank you cure. thank you.

[MissCureCrazy]

guess what guess what guess what?!? to all the Cure fans out there: the Cure is gonna be nominated fer the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!!!!!!!!!!! let's all hope and pray or whatever it is you do that they win,cos,in my opinion,they totally deserve it,right? like this so tghat it'll be a top comment and the world can see every time they watch this awesome song

[MissCureCrazy]

c'mon guys,let's stop arguing. i scroll down and there is so much fighting,isn't there enough sadness? enough anger? at times like these, i ask my self: what would robert do?

write an epic song about the sadness and anger.^-^

[MissCureCrazy]

you think you love someone...but it's just not enough. this is a very truthful song. we've all been here,so it's no wonder this song found it's way into our hearts,at least mine. cos it's so true. thanks cure. keep up the good work!!!!!!!

[MissCureCrazy]

beautiful

[timeunknown]

i can always come back and listen to this song, and it wont get old =)

[kbbyerly1]

such an underrated group and not appreciated as much as they should be anymore ...

[iloveyoyo222]

love robert smith i cant spell but if he was hear i wana hear all his storys

[tmcraintx]

my best friend was in love with a man that was hooked on drugs... they were totally attached in every way except for the drugs. She died on her 33rd birthday. this was her mourning song to him that I listened to over and over again til she died. this song will always remind me of that.

[crawford28281]

I put my heart in that tune(picture) hope to do more..The Cure inspired me so much with their song Pictures of you that I decided to write my own song called picture....

[AaronDArnold]

Strange how a song can force memories and feelings to the surface.

Thank you for uploading this,friend!

[theflyingmoustachio]

way to go failing at relationships in public.

[MrsPeachyChocolate]

"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 the make-believe ran out"

OMG this is soooooo... No words to describe this, such an sad&beautiful song...

[cheertheatre2011]

my name is elise(:

[barbs210]

How can u NOT love this song

[stephaniemebc]

To Robert Smith: the greatest, thanks so much! Wish I'd been brave enough to see u in concert!.

[jaestebanc]

It is incredible Robert can just throw songs like this out. He is amazing!

[Kilroy6934]

if i ever marry a girl named Elise, then this song will definatly be the wedding song!

[thecaneater]

You all know this song is about two people falling out of love with each other, right??

[3eno0li]

such a wonderful song..

[sweetvanillaswirl]

My roommates psycho ex-boyfriend sent this to her. I swear to god if she goes back to him I have no hope left for humanity. Not even the Cure should be able to fix that awful relationship...

[XOEmoQueenXO]

Sometimes, I wonder if he still thinks about me. I think of him every second of every day.

[clauds123cheer]

elise is my middle name cause of this song my dad picked it:)

[lleonebio1]

great... just perfect.....

[xIKillPeoplex]

"Yesterday I stood and stared, wide eyed in front of you. and the face I saw looked back, the way I wanted to"...

This reminds me of you, J<3

[thecrazybitch371]

j.lush you are me and i am you together we grew a bond held eachother like touchches of the butterfly wings,but i flew away too soon and when you look up at the moon it is me rip cynthia 1973-2011.

[ShelbyandElise]

This song actually has my name in it(:

[angelseatbetterbread]

Soapy!

[CONSIDERurselfLUCKY]

I loooooove this song... mostly because Elise is my name, but I really like The Cure, too =P

[xPARADOXASAURx]

I'm not even broken-hearted and this song makes me want to ball to lost love. Goddamn I love it!

[mara1374]

16 years ago I lived this song, now he is far away but nothing will divide my heart from his heart. C. I love you ...

[msfit2btied]

Grreat song and video, although I have to say 3:54 caught me off-guard! lmao XD Nice touch.

[dhpunkrock101]

And every time I try to pick it up like falling sand,

As fast as I pick it up it runs through my clutching hands.

Thumbs up if you've ever felt that.

[EverDreamer95]

@dhpunkrock101

I have, yeah.

Then I just waited and waited and in the end I *could* pick it up.

It was just a matter of time - things always get better, I suppose.

[MissCureCrazy]

@dhpunkrock101 if only that wasn't true... but it is. we've all felt it. and that's why i love the Cure. they sing the truth.

LONG LIVE THE CURE

[Levisvr]

DRAMA

[ilykellierae]

This song breaks my heart

[EliseeWynterr]

[Kesharocks3]

[Rlcosta93]

@Kesharocks3 you must beat the kesha demon out of you daughter!!! im with you

[Cadylovesuforever]

[eldrugui]

Gracias The Cure, gracias a vosotros mi hija se llama Elisa, pensaba que picture of you era la mejor canción pero hoy me dí cuenta que esta es y sera la mejor para mí.

[DVL55]

"....but i let the dream go..and the promises broke the make....believe ran out..." these words are so true!!!

[cd97peace]

This song will always me think of you, Kat. I hope you listened to it. You are eternally locked away in the corner of my mind and heart

C

[marianopirro]

Gracias por la letra !

[born2live]

finally a song with my name in it that isn't "fur elise" ...i love this song, thanks for uploading :D

[twicefooled]

"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..."

[MrJohnFaustus]

This song breaks my heart every time I hear it, It always reminds me of my ex ladyfriend, and how the decision to break up was mutual. But it doesn't matter, because no matter how many other girls I find, she engraved part of herself into my brain, heart, and for that matter, every inch of my being.

[fairyfly5116]

A song for you Jade Elise Barela....

[Gioia1975]

This song flows like a remedy through my veins.....

[whybenormallol]

my little sister's name is Elise

[thecure49671]

[CureGirl1976]

Stops my heart. Always.

[jordanngirl]

Elise is my middle name But mines is spelled better..Alease.

[bird1751]

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 "

[ThePhatmuya]

this is my favorite of all time.....

[SirBounder]

What is 'there're'? Is there ANYONE on YouTube who can write English? What you were looking for is the contraction 'they're', not 'there're'

[76dbaron]

I broke up with my boyfriend listening to this song...A few years later, I ended up having 2 kids with him... (S.O.B) ;(

[thebadthing505]

Haha, My first name is Elise.. :)

And I'm kinda Proud , 'cause this song is really great :D

[DrunkenMasterSin78]

One of the greatest bands to ever bless us with music.

[06000292]

@DrunkenMasterSin78 so true, simple but true

[jaybbycakes]

:D dude, that's my middle name.

haha, I love this song and the band.

[bird1751]

"With aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands you 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 "

[remembermorrison]

My favorite Cure song. Blink-182 does a damn good copy as well.

[remembermorrison]

One of my favorites. Robert Smith ftw!

[angela8976]

I LOVE THE CURE

[rickbangkok]

The Cure is spine chilling when it comes to writing and performing songs with deep emotion and just the perfect melodic hook. They simply connect life, love, and all the pain of attachment in this world in their music, and it resonates along with my own life. When love is a drug, and you cannot have anymore, The Cure helps soothe the pain.

[AshleyInsanityVanity]

The perfect interpretation of the Cure.

[dlfppa]

wow, all the times i listen to this song, this is the first time looking at the lyrics....I love it more now than eva....the Cure effin Rocksssssss

[HeatherHappymaker]

Oh, the hair! The angst!

[HeatherHappymaker]

Oh, the drama! 

[geronimogroovy]

thank god (in this case robert) for these songs. saves me the time to think words that explain my case. :> cheers.

[Cicatrizer]

That's an interesting story. I definitely didn't have an aneurysm reading it..............

[xxangelicpayne76xx]

I love this song so so much. I know The Cure has so much great material, but this is, I must say my favorite song of all by them. Because the lyrics mean so much to me and makes me wanna cry everytime. IT's hauntingly gorgeous. I love you robert!!" I know i'll never really get inside of you to make your eyes catch fire the way they should".

[bird1751]

With aching looks and breaking hearts And all the prayers your hands you 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 ..............." just makes ya ache

[montsenala]

Me encanta, sin palabras...

[zamilec]

Robert YOU ARE GENIUS

[Fluffiezz]

my name is Elise so this song is so good :3

no, but really, its great

[jczother]

The passion in his lyrics make you know how to really love.

[bird1751]

[inael]

Cool :) i hope you two still can be good friends. Good luck!

[foogander]

[veritasrex66]

@foogander this comment sure as hell applies to me for some reason.

[Rizzojerky]

[tyler19951995]

@thirstyvampiregirl stfu bitch

[thirstyvampiregirl]

@tyler19951995  you stfu you cocksucking faggot

[MrJfueglein]

@thirstyvampiregirl

Doesn't he know you're a thirsty vampire? Doesn't that complicate things? Like, how do you ever see him during the day? Do you ever drink of his blood? When you drink other people's blood(s), does he get jealous? The mind reels with such questions!

[tyler19951995]

@thirstyvampiregirl Sounds pretty fucking stupid.

[Rlcosta93]

@thirstyvampiregirl even though im responding ten months after, i hope you came to senses and stopped with that "friends" foolishness

[RockwellAndAGuitar]

@thirstyvampiregirl i dedicated this song to my ex too...one of the best songs ever and one of my favorite bands =]

[TheRiotgirl18]

@thirstyvampiregirl ok this is a website to listen to music/ watch videos.. not to hear sob stories... you want to talk about why you broke up and arent getting back together and all that other stupid shit nobody cares about, go on facebook or something. not here. thanks

[rickye19]

As soon as one of you falls in love with someone else, the other will be shatter. Good luck.

[TheREALDanontheMoon]

@thirstyvampiregirl Just date the poor son of a bitch instead of dragging it out. "e both admit to having feelings for eachother but for the sake of not wanting to loose eachother we decided to stay friend" BIGGEST FUCKING COP OUT EVER!! Fuck a friend zone! You only live once.

[jeanettemkennedy]

@TheREALDanontheMoon couldn't agree with you more!

[lovingChristeverday]
