Live to Tell Lyrics

Don’t ignore your feelings

Bodies have a way of revealing them

My hands know what I don’t

They tell me by breaking things I own

I knew it would hurt

When I climbed into that well

When there wasn’t any water

Well it hurt like hell

But I live to tell, oh oh

I live to tell, oh oh

When my mom was sad for a long time

She only fixed us frozen corn

In the garage where she kept a year’s supply

We’d count the bags, my brother and I

I knew it would hurt

There’s a box on the shelf

With all the things that remind me of her

Well it hurt like hell

But I live to tell, oh oh

I live to tell, oh oh

I know it will hurt

When they lay her to rest

She’s only my mother

It’s the loneliest test

But I live to tell, oh oh

I live to tell, oh oh

I live to tell
