I've been leaving clues when I think of you
There's no need to be alarmed
I mean you no harm
It's just what I do

I never told you a lie
I'll swear it until I die
Every word was spoken as it was meant to be
I trusted you and thought you trusted me

I've mastered the art of sharing my heart
I've made sure you shared a part
Our hearts told us the truth
We've known it since our youth

I've traveled across this land
I've lived in snow and played in the sand
I've smiled with many friends
that will be here until the very end

I've found no other to hold so true
in all my travels other than you
We haven't seen everything yet
I've often wondered if you live with regret

So here I am and there you are
It seems I'm the one with the permanent scar
I've gotten by, I've made it through
Through it all I never lied to you

I never lied to you
Think back you know it's true
That's the one thing I wouldn't do
I could never lie to you

I know you know the truth
You were my life you were my youth
We crossed over, we made it through
You without me and me without you

I hope you've smiled in all these years
I'm sorry for your share of tears
Thoughts of you helped pull me through
My first and only love is you

It's hard to let go when it meant so much
It all started with an innocent touch
Young hearts, growing minds merging together
set in synchronized times

Young friends turned into young lovers
Life was uncertain there was more to discover
Two hearts that once beat as one
Living life lost in the fun

Sometimes I close my eyes and you appear
It's been happening more year after year
It just happen once again
Watch for the clues they never end

I never lied to you
Think back you know it's true
That's the one thing I wouldn't do
I could never lie to you
