"Live To Tell" lyrics - LACUNA COIL

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...
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 secret I have learned
Till then
(It will burn inside of me)
It will burn inside of me...
Live to tell...

I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once or twice
I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines, it shines, it shines inside
You can't take that from me
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 secret I have learned
Till then
(It will burn inside of me)
It will burn inside of me...
Live to tell...

[Post-Chorus:]
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell
The secret I knew then (well...), 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 secret that I hide?
Will I grow old?
How will they hear?
When will they learn?
How will they know?

[Chorus/Post-Chorus]
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 (well...), will I
Ever have the chance again...

[Outro:]
Live to tell...
Live to tell...
Live to tell...
Live to tell...
