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
|
|
