Shadow
I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape
Was hidin out
And runnin for the door
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard bein me
Livin in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Tryin to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Livin in a nightmare
A never-endin sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free don't feel sorry for me
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life
And always second best
Ooohh I love you now
'Cause now I realize that it's safe outside
To come alive
In my identity
So if you're listenin
There's so much more to me
Ya haven't seen
Livin in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Tryin to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Livin in a nightmare
A never-endin sleep
But now that I am wide awake
I can finally see
Don't feel sorry for me
Mother sister father sister mother
Everything's cool now mother sister father sister mother
Everything's cool now
Oh my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh my life is good
And the past in the past
I was livin in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Tryin to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
I'm livin in a new day
I'm livin it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Yea I can finally be
So don't feel sorry for me…
Don't feel sorry don't feel sorry for me…
Don't feel sorry don't feel sorry for me…
Livin in livin in livin in
The shadow
Livin in livin in livin in
A new day
