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