I Am the Boy Who Smiled at You - Andy Bell

I am the boy who smiled at you all the time

I must confess you’re more than often on my mind

I am the boy who whatever you do

I’m always on your side

And we are so in love

We never felt we had to try

But then I unhitched your tangled love

Little white lies to find a messed up wife and kids

With I sunbed on the side

Stunned beyond tears I cannot cry

You talked about our future

Like we were for life

Complications and frustrations

But I’ve had a suggestion to leave you

And you fold your part fear for the worst

And my absence would bequeath you

You staring into nothing

But it ain’t a sweet nothing

Like the words whispered in my ears

And to watch

So sincere

I am the boy who found another man in time

I must confess that you are still after none

My mind

I am the boy who whatever you do

Should always have me by your side

I so in love though that love you soft denied

From the day I unhitched you tangled love

Little white lies

And you stayed with your wife and kids

For I was your bed on the side

For it beyond tears by your scribbled goodbyes

You talked about our future

Like we were for life

Complications and frustrations

But I’ve had a suggestion to leave you

And you fold your part fear for the worst

And my absence would bequeath you

Choices made are often hard

But I am not without a heart

Respectfully now ten years passed

I ask what did life teach you

And if the love we had has been outgrown

Or if quiet moments can still reach you

I am the boy, I’m still the boy
