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 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
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 kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again

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
