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 you 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
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
Yeah 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 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
Yeah I can finally be
So don 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
