I had a friend
He had a name
I saw him last night again

He looked at me
He was feeling guilty
Talking like we had no memories

No laughing dreams
And acting just like two strangers
And I knew for sure

That he's an empty man
he's a crazy man
he's a blind fool


He left her there
With a child to bear

He knew he couldn't really make it
And he had a line, but I knew he was
Ready to do what he had in mind

Just split fast
Deny he had really broke her
And I knew for sure

That he's an empty man
he's a lazy man
he's a blind fool


How did he feel about leaving Louise?
Unconsciously feeling so blue

How could he kill all those years with Louise?
She couldn't stand phonies
She couldn't stand liars at all


I had a friend
He had a name

We had the same passion running long
Acting like we had no memories
No loving dreams

And acting just like two strangers
And I knew for sure
That he's an empty man

he's a crazy man
he's a blind fool


How did he feel about leaving Louise?
Unconsciously feeling so blue
How could he kill all those years with Louise?

She couldn't stand phonies
She couldn't stand liars at all
