Her Online Friend

Feeling lonely one night I decided to

Join one of those online chat rooms

Under the disguise of someone I used to know

And to my surprise my wife wanted to be my friend

Hello my friend how have you been these days

I sure miss you by my side and the way you laugh

I didn't want to reveal that it was really me

So I answered her without saying too much

Hello my friend how have you been these days

I sure miss you by my side and the way you laugh

Truth be told we had been in a bit of a rut

With all that life has put on our table

There hasn't been much time for us

And it's all out there for everyone to see

This life you created is gone in a flash

Hello my friend how have you been these days

I sure miss you by my side and the way you laugh

She replied that she was rather sad

Her husband has been ignoring her

And she feels like nothing's left

And it hit me...like a fly on the wall

I’m hearing the confession of my own downfall

I said to her that love is a crazy place

People have the key to free the empty space

Living a life of lies is no way to live

Just tell the truth and leave it where it lies

And it's all out there for everyone to see

This life you created is gone in a flash

Walking to our bedroom following the light

Expecting us to continue our big fight

I looked at her laying in the room alone

Crying a river of tears so I softly said

Hello my friend how have you been these days

I sure miss you by my side and the way you laugh

She looked at me with that sad look upon her face

Instantly she knew it was me that was her online friend

And it's all out there for everyone to see

This life we created is back in a flash

As she held me in her arms this is what she said

Hello my friend where have you been for all these days

I sure missed you by my side and the way you make laugh

Incredibly...I just met an old friend

Who said love is a crazy place and

We have the key to free the empty space

Living a life of lies...is no way to live

Just tell the truth and leave it where it lies

And it's all out there for everyone to see

This life we created is back in a flash

As she held me in her arms this is what she said

Hello my friend where have you been for all these days

I sure missed you by my side and the way you make me laugh
