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 Ive seen it once, I know the warm she gives The light that you could never see It shines inside, you cant 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, Id 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
