(carly simon/libby titus/jacob brackman)
The lies that you tell will leave you alone
Theyll keep you down,
Theyll catch you and trip you up
Keep you hangin around
The habit is old - you dont 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
Im right here beside you
Theres nobody else to set you straight
To shake you, to let you know
That its still not too late -
I want to show you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart
Dont make up stories,
I know you by your eyes
I think I know whats inside
The streets youve been on
Will leave you out in the cold
But you know I care,
And years from now
Well both look down from the top of the stairs -
Here Ive shown you my heart
I want to know you by heart
And love you by heart
