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 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 warmth she gives The light that you could never see It shines inside you can't take that from me... 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... The truth is never far behind You've 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? (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...? 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... The truth is never far behind You've kept it hidden well If I live to tell the secret I knew then Will I ever have the chance again...? 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...
