The Dodos
"Elves"

I cried for you, what a waste of time
I gave away into, oh my weaker side
Now my heart's in two, 'cause I made you lie
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa

I go out for a while, always ends up in a dial
'Cause I run out of the trust that I had when I was a child
So I make you into just another chip in my smile
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa

And I walk 'til I erase it
But I call 'cause I can't replace it
And my voice, yeah, I betrayed it
And I fall, because I can't face it

I've played into a part just to make you mine
Yeah, we had a failed start, didn't know why we tried
Now it's been so long and far since the time it died
But I know that in my heart, better say our goodbyes
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa

And I walk 'til I erase it
But I call 'cause I can't replace it
And my voice, yeah, I've betrayed it
And I fall because I can't face it
