text: 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
  Ive 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
  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
  A man can tell a thousand lies
  Ive learned my lesson well
  Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
  Til then, it will burn inside of 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?
  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?
  A man can tell a thousand lies
  Ive learned my lesson well
  Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
  Til then, it will burn inside of 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?
  A man can tell a thousand lies
  Ive learned my lesson well
  Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned
  Til then, it will burn inside of me
