Losing Lisa

*Note: this album (and obviously song) are by Ben Folds as a
solo artist, not Ben Folds Five.

the lights are off again
she took me by surprise
she's so sensitive
and shit just happens sometimes
shes my everything
shes 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 wont say what i've done
she's sitting here beside me, and 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 mesmerized
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, and 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
black tears are falling falling
black tears are falling falling
black tears are falling falling
