Shadow

I was six years old
When my parents ran away
I was stuck inside a broken life
I couldnt wish away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my escape was hiding out
And running for the door
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone elses dream
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Dont feel sorry for me

All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone elses life
And always second best
Oh,I love you now cause now I realize
That its safe outside to come alive in my identity
So if youre listening
Theres so much more to me you havent seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone elses dream
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
Dont feel sorry for me
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everythings cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everythings cool now
Oh, my life is good
Ive got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the past in the past

I was living in the shadow
Of someone elses dream
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Im living in a new day
Im living it for me
And now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally be
Dont feel sorry for me
Dont feel sorry,dont feel sorry for me
Dont feel sorry,dont feel sorry for me

Living in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
