lyrics

Lisa can explain all his tattoos
Lisa knows his family's rich history of issues
Lisa sends him birthday gifts hoping that the air will shift
Lisa wears a smile for him even when he doesn't look at her

Lisa's beautiful and well he, well, he's all right.
But Lisa thinks he's beautiful even though we can't really see why.
To her he's beautiful even when he's feeding her his sweet little white lies.
She finds him beautiful,
he's such a dumb luck sort of fuckin guy.

'Cuz she waits by his door
doesn't knock doesn't ring the bell
just waits by his door, ignoring all his hell.
She waits by his door, part of her knowing full well
that he was never gonna give her a key,
but still she couldn't leave.

Lisa cooks like people who win Chopped
sizzling the onions while she glazes up the pork chops
Lisa sets the table for two
then she winds up wrapping up the second serving of food
Lisa sets aside all her own wishes
while she pours some dish soap over all her dirty dishes

Lisa goes and gases up her car
drives for half an hour just to see him at his bar
hoping that when he sees her, he'll smile from afar
but he's busy picking maraschino cherries from the jar
Lisa's the funniest one in the whole place
but her sense of humor doesn't match up with his shitty taste
Lisa listens as he vents about his tragic perfect ex
Lisa doesn't even mind having to wait a month for sex

Lisa wakes in her bed alone
sees zero new messages on her phone
Lisa looks in the mirror
to everyone but her, it couldn't be clearer

that Lisa's beautiful and well he, well, he's all right.
But Lisa thinks he's beautiful even though we can't really see why.
To her he's beautiful even when he's feeding her his sweet little white lies.
She finds him beautiful,
he's such a dumb luck sort of fuckin guy.

'Cuz she waits by his door
doesn't knock doesn't ring the bell
just waits by his door, ignoring all his hell.
She waits by his door, part of her knowing full well
that he was never gonna give her a key,
but still she couldn't leave.

Lisa's beautiful
yeah she's beautiful
Lisa's beautiful
even when she doesn't know when to walk away.
