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)
