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
