Live To Tell - Madonna
Album: True Blue
genre: Electronic Pop
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?
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
