Patrick Leonard - Live to Tell 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 1] 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 [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 2] 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? [Verse 3] 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 2] 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? 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
