The Face Not The Image
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I show you my face, yes, the face, not the image
I may show you a man you care nothing about
If you look at the truth, yes, the truth, not the image
I could lose you, my love
I could lose you, my love
I love you
Everything I do I do because I love you
Opening my life before your eyes
Is opening the painful past, and yet
I need you
Just to live a lie I'd die because I need you
I couldn't do it just for anyone
I wouldn't do it just for anyone but you
If I show you the thorns, don't forget there were roses
If I show you the clouds, don't forget there was sun
If I show you the tears, don't forget there was laughter
Love me just as I am
Love me just as I am
I love you
Everything I do I do because I love you
Opening my life before your eyes
Is opening the painful past, and yet
I need you
Just to live a lie I'd die because I need you
I couldn't do it just for anyone
I wouldn't do it just for anyone but you
And if I show you my face, yes, the face, not the image
I could lose you, my love
Yes, I could lose you, my love
I love you
Everything I do I do because I love you
Opening my life before your eyes
Is opening the painful past, and yet
I need you
Just to live a lie I'd die because I need you
I couldn't do it just for anyone
