Live to Tell

I have a tale to tell

Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well

I was not ready for the fall

Too blind to see the writing on the wall

A man can tell a thousand lies

I learned my lesson well

Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned

Till then, it will burn inside of me

I know where beauty live

I've seen it once, I know the warm she give

The light that you could never see

It shines inside, you can't take that from me

A man can tell a thousand lies

I learned my lesson well

Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned

Till then, it will burn inside of me

The truth is never far behind

You kept it hidden well

If I live to tell the secret I knew then

Will I ever have the chance again?

I ran away, I'd never have the strength to go very far

How could they hear the beating of my heart?

Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide? Will I grow old?

How would they hear? When would they learn?

How would they know?

A man can tell a thousand lies

I learned my lesson well

Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned

Till then, it will burn inside of me

The truth is never far behind

You kept it hidden well

If I live to tell the secret I knew then

Will I ever have the chance again?
