Live to Tell (Live)

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

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

Man can tell a thousand lies

I've learned my lesson

Well hope I live to tell

The secret I have learned

Till then you'll 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

And how could they hear

The beating of my heart

Will it grow cold

The secret that I hide

Where I go how will they hear

Where will they learn

How will they know

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

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
