I see you sneakin' round with that stash you carry

Looking like a cat that swallowed a canary

You can hide it from the world

You can wear a good disguise

The weight of self deception is right there in your eyes



Little sister can't you see your own good?

The light inside of you is understood

Don't put yourself down for being human now

Don't have to live like someone else



You're hiding from yourself

You're running from the one friend that you really need

You're hiding from yourself baby

You're lying to the one that needs you desperately

Baby you don't have to hide

You can always run to me



I see you with your friends shoutin' at the moon

It ain't a party if it's over too soon

You can take it to the edge

You can buy a little time

Or waste your life's emotions in a silent pantomine



Little sister no one understands

You try to numb the pain anyway you can

But now you've seen the rain

And now it's time for change

Look out the sun is breaking through



You're hiding from yourself

You're running from one friend that you really need

You're hiding from yourself baby

You're lying to the one that needs you desperately

Baby you don't have to hide

You can always run to me



There is no reason for your tears

You're like a scared little girl

There is a cure all for your fears

Look to the light of the world



You're hiding from yourself
