I watch as the pieces peel and fall,

I can feel my heart breaking,

Everything I did everything I was,

All gone in an instant.

This shell, this facade,

The mask I hide behind, the face the world saw,

All of it for nothing now,

I feel it fall away, break away, strip away.

With you there is no need,

I no longer have to hide who I am,

You have taken away the fear,

Your love has set me free.
