The lies that you tell
Will leave you alone
They'll keep you down
They'll catch you and trip you up
Keep you hangin' around

The habit is old
You don't need it anymore
Go on and kiss it goodbye
'Cause you got me
And I can see
Who you really are

I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

I'm right here beside you
There's nobody else to set you straight
To shake you
To let you know
That it's still not too late

I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart

Don't make up stories
I know you by your eyes
I think I know what's inside

The streets you've been on
Will leave you out in the cold
But you know I care

And years from now
We'll both look down from the top of the stairs
Here, I've shown you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart
