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
* 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
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
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
