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've 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 lives, I've seen it once, I know the one she gives 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've 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've kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then will I Ever have the chance again If I ran away, I'd never have the strength to go very far How would they hear the beating of my heart Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide. Will I grow old? How will they hear? When will they learn? How will they know? A man can tell a thousand lies, I've 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've kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then will I Ever have the chance again
