Losing Lisa

Ben Folds

The lights are off again

She took me by surprise

She's so sensitive

This shit just happens sometimes

She's my everything

She's my best friend and more

We don't do anything

We didn't do the day

Before you go

You oughta know

That I didn't mean to hurt you, I just wanted you to know



Black tears are falling down her face

And I am wrong

Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done

She's sitting here beside me, then she is gone

Black tears are falling, falling



Remember long ago

Together laughing, loving

Oh so long ago

When we were buying something

Life was simple then

But she's not happy now, and I

Don't feel anything

Her lips are moving

I am mesmerised

By tiny lies

I'm watching as the shapes are drawing slowly from her eyes



Black tears are falling down her face

And I am wrong

Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done

She's sitting here beside me, then she is gone

Black tears are falling, falling

Black tears are falling, falling



Losing Lisa

Losing Lisa

Losing Lisa

And there's nothing I can do



Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)

Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)

Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)

Black tears are falling, falling (ooh ooh)
