Losing Lisa by Ben Folds

The lights are off again, she took me by surprise
She's so sensitive, an' 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 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, 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, oh oh
Black tears are falling, falling, oh oh
Black tears are falling, falling, oh oh
Black tears are falling, falling, oh oh
