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, running for the door
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard bein' me
Livin' in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Tryna find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Livin' in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
And 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 that you haven't seen
Livin' in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Tryna find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Livin' in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
Now that I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
Don't feel sorry
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
Tryna find a hand to hold
And every touch felt cold to me
Livin' in a nightmare, a never-ending sleep
And now that I am wide awake
Yeah, I can finally be
Don't feel sorry
Livin' in, livin' in, livin' in the shadow
Livin' in, livin' in, livin' in a new day
