Madonna Live to Tell song lyrics

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've 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?

(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've 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...
