|
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, '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 |
|
[chorus] |
[2nd 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 |
|
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] |
