Verse 1: Was it because I always loved to be near you The way loved to always be close by your side Was it the way I always tried to encourage To be someone in which you could confide -- Pre-Chorus: You should have seen it in my eyes I was sincere Look into my eyes I am sincere -- Chorus: I'll see you when I do, my island girl Enjoy your many travels in this world I gave all that I had to give Even though it was short lived I don't have any regrets at all -- Verse 2: I often wonder if it's from All the pain that you've been through You built up walls to protect yourself I couldn't break through -- Bridge: I never really understood why you ran away But I said I'd be in your corner So that is where I stayed Promised I'd never throw you overboard I follow through with what I say Even when you ran away
