Live to tell, Madonna





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 warmth she gives



The light that you could never see

It shines inside, you can't take that from me



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



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



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



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
