Live To Tell by Berlin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 secrets I have learned
'Til then, it will burn inside of me

[Verse 2]
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]
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned
'Til then, it will burn inside of me
[Post-Chorus]
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secrets I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again?

[Bridge]
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 secrets that I hide? Will I grow old?
How will they hear? When will they learn? How will they know?

[Chorus]
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned
'Til then, it will burn inside of me

[Post-Chorus]
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I knew then
Will I ever have the chance again?

[Chorus]
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned
'Til then, it will burn inside of me
