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
