Madonna

I have a tale to tell

Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well.
I was not ready for the fall

To find
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 one 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
. . .

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 strenght to go very far.
How would they hear the beating of my heart?
Will it go cold - the secret that I hide - will I grow old?
How would they hear
when will they learn.
How would they know?

A man can tell a thousand lies
. . .
The truth is never far behind
. . .
