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 hiding out and running for the door
|
|
Somebody listen please
|
It used to be so hard being me
|
Living in the shadow
|
Of someone else's 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
|
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
|
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
|
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
|
|
So if you're listening
|
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
|
Living in the shadow
|
Of someone else's 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
|
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 is in the past
|
|
I was living in the shadow
|
Of someone else's dream
|
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
|
I'm living in a new day
|
I'm living it for me
|
And now that I am wide awake
|
Then I can finally see
|
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
|
|
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
|
Living in, living in, living in a new day
|
