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
