I've got 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'll 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

*repeat 2^nd stanza*

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?

*repeat 2^nd stanza, 4^th stanza, 2^nd stanza*

baby can i hold you dreaming of you frozen is it okay if i call you mine live to tell my heart will go on we could be in love you you don't know me you'll see
