|
I was six years old |
|
When my parents ran 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 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 be |
|
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 |
