Live to Tell

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned 'Til then, it will burn inside of me [Verse 2] I know where beauty lives I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives The light that you could nevеr see It shines inside, you can't take that from mе [Chorus] A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned 'Til then, it will burn inside of me [Post-Chorus] 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? [Bridge] 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? [Chorus] A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned 'Til then, it will burn inside of me [Post-Chorus] 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? [Chorus] A man can tell a thousand lies I've learned my lesson well Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned 'Til then, it will burn inside of me
