Shadow - Ashlee Simpson

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
My escape, was hiding out, running for the door

Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Livin in the shadow of someone elses dream
Tryin to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Livin in the nightmare
Never ended sleep
Now that I am wide awake
I changed it finally free
Don't feel so real for me

All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone elses life
And always second best
Oh I love you now
Cause now I realize
That It's safe outside, to come alive
And my idenity
So If your listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen

Livin in the shadow of someone elses dream
Tryin to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Livin in the nightmare
Never ended sleep
Now that I am wide awake
I can finally be
Don't feel so real

Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Oh my life is good
I 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 elses dream
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
I'm livin in a new day
I'm livin it for me
And now that I am wide awake
I can finally be
Don't feel so real for me
Don't feel so real, don't feel so real for me

Livin in, livin in, livin in... the shadow
Livin in, livin in, livin in... a new day
