Meeting Lisa

When I heard, I lied
I said that it was wonderful
I said I wish you well
I said it didn't matter
But when I heard, I lied

When I heard, I cried
A thousand tears fell down
Inside my heart awash
Now I am arid, dry
But when I heard, I cried

When I heard, I tried
I tried to be happy
I tried to be complete
I tried but can't forget
But when I heard, I tried

When we met, I lied
I said "hello, nince to meet you"
I said "how are you" and then
I said nothing after
Because when we met, I lied

When we met, I cried
She was nothing special
No beauty to behold
I didn't see her anymore
Because when we met, I cried

When we met, I tried
I tried to be civil
I tried to be so kind
I tried to understand
Because when we met, I died
