These lyrics just about sum up my entire life... Just wanted to share with the group. It's a beautiful song (ok, it's by Madonna, so you're probably thinking there's no merit to that, but have a listen if you don't know it, you might surprise yourself!)
Madonna - 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.
Til 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,
I’ve learned my lesson well.
Hope I live to tell the secret,
I have learned.
Til 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 old,
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.
Til 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?
