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:
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...
