Lyrics
0:07I was six years old
0:10When my parents went away
0:13I was stuck inside a broken life
0:17I couldn't wish away
0:19She was beautiful
0:22She had everything and more
0:26And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
0:32Somebody listen please
0:37It used to be so hard being me
0:41Living in the shadow
0:44Of someone else's dream
0:47Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
0:54Living in a nightmare
0:56A never-ending sleep
1:00But now that I am wide awake
1:03My chains are finally free
1:06Don't feel sorry for me
1:11All the days collided
1:15One less perfect than the next
1:18I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
1:24Oh I love you now 'cause now I realize
1:30That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
1:36So if you're listening
1:41There's so much more to me you haven't seen
1:46Living in the shadow
1:49Of someone else's dream
1:52Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
1:58Living in a nightmare
2:01A never-ending sleep
2:04But now that I am wide awake
2:07Then I can finally see
2:10Don't feel sorry for me-
2:13Mother sister father sister mother
2:17Everything's cool now
2:18Mother sister father sister mother
2:23Everything's cool now
2:25Oh my life is good
2:29I've got more than anyone should
2:32Oh my life is good
2:35And the past is in the past
2:41I was living in the shadow
2:44Of someone else's dream
2:47Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
2:54I'm living in a new day
2:56I'm living it for me
3:00And now that I am wide awake
3:03Then I can finally see
3:06So don't feel sorry for me
3:10Don't feel sorry don't feel sorry for me
3:16Don't feel sorry don't feel sorry for me
3:33Living in living in living in the shadow
3:38Living in living in living in a new day
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 Then I can finally see 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
