Verse 1:
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
Refrain:
Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Chorus 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Refrain:
So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge:
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
Chorus 2:
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 new day
living in for me
But now that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me
Outro:
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
