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
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)
It will burn inside of me.

Live to tell.

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once or twice
I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines, it shines, it shines inside
You can't take that from me
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.

Live to tell
Live to tell
Live to tell
Live to tell.
