I have a tale to tell A man can tell a thousand lies I know where beauty lives A man can tell a thousand lies The truth is never far behind If I ran away, A man can tell a thousand lies The truth is never far behind
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
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'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
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned,
'till then
It will burn inside of me
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
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
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned,
'till then
It will burn inside of me
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again
