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 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 insidе, you can't take that from me

[Chorus 2]

The truth is nеver far behind

You kept it hidden well

If I live to tell the secret I knew then

Will I ever have the chance again?

[Instrumental Break]

[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?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus 2]

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?
