Losing Lisa Lyrics

Ben Folds

the lights are off again
She took me by surprise
She’s so sensitive
This sh*t 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)
