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 secrets I have learned

Till then, it will burn inside of me

I know where beauty lives

I've seen it once, I know the warm 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 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

(To go very far)

How would they hear the beating of my heart?

Will I grow cold? (Will I grow cold?)

The secret that I hide, will I grow old?

How will they hear? (How will they hear?)

When will they learn?

How will they know?

They know, they know, 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

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
