It's been a while since she's felt she could look someone in the eye,
Quite a while since she's felt the strength to even try,
All of her sins are piled like a tower of doom, and no one knows she's not what they assume.

'Cause she's been hiding in the shadows of a lie,
Hiding in the shadows, you can die.

So sincere; no one could have doubted where she stood,
But, through the years, only her intentions remained good,
Like an actress typecast in a picture-perfect part, she played a role, but it wasn't from the heart.

And now she's hiding in the shadows of a lie,
Hiding in the shadows, you can die.

It only gets harder to tell the truth, and one lie is never enough,
It may be hard to admit you've failed him now and then, but healing comes when his light illuminates your sin,
And people might reject you when the truth is hard to bear, but failure is the one thing we all share.

So don't go hiding in the shadows of a lie,
Consider hiding in the shadows; you can die,
Oh, hiding in the shadows of a lie,
Consider hiding in the shadows; you can die.

Hiding in the shadows,
Hiding in the shadows,
Hiding in the shadows,
Hiding in the shadows,
