Lyrics:

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)
(2ND CHORUS)
