the way you know me

Strip away the facade  
and take me to the place  
where you know me  
 
I'm more myself here
beside you  
than I've been
in longer than I can remember  
 
Tonight the smile won't slip
because there's nothing left  
to hide behind  
 
I'll add it to the list  
of the best days of my life  
freedom and love and friendship  
my heart ready to break  
in all the right ways  
because the way you love me  
is enough to spark new
stars to life  
 
Strip away the facade  
and take me to the place  
where you know me  
 
Because here I'm free
