Verse 1:

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

And all of her sins are piled like a tower of doom

And no one knows she's not what they assume



Chorus:

'Cause she's been hiding in the shadows of a lie

Hiding in the shadows you can die



Verse 2:

So sincere no one could have doubted where she stood

But through the years only her intentions remained good

And like an actress typecast in a picture perfect part

She played a role but it wasn't from the heart



Chorus:

And now she's hiding in the shadows of a lie

Hiding in the shadows you can die



Bridge:

It only gets harder to tell the truth

And one lie is never enough



Verse 3:

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



Chorus:

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...
