Old Friend

I'm sorry that we lost touch and I went a different way
How was I to know that you would track me down one day?

I liked you then, and I didn't understand why
You would listen to them when they spoke their lies.

Maybe 10 years ago, maybe never, maybe in another life
But it's too late now. I have a husband and you have a wife.

You talk about feelings for me and being in love
Does your wife know that she's being taken advantage of?

What lies have you told to keep her at your side?
Did you tell her the truth and watch while she cried?

You say you love, but you hurt everyone who cares
Just go back to your wife, who is alone and scared.

Please leave me alone and please let me be.
Go back to your wife and to your family.

I'm sorry you feel things I don't feel for you.
I'd like you to go home, but I can't tell you what to do.

You would leave now and never return if you were smart.
Because I have a family too, who I love with all my heart.

Before you leave please do me one favor, old friend.
Never try to find me, please... Ever again.
