Madonna Confessions Tour Live to Tell

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 warm 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
