Live To Tell lyrics

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
