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 its over too soon,
You can take it to the edge,
You can buy a little time,
Or waste you 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.

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 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.

Baby you don't have to hide,
You can always run to me.
Baby you don't have to hide,
You can always run to me.

You're hiding, you're hiding,
You're hiding from yourself,
You're hiding from yourself baby,
You're hiding from yourself,
You're running from one friend that you really need...
