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 Til 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 [repeat *]
**	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 [repeat * **] [repeat * and fade]
