Shadow

[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, running for the door

[Pre-Chorus]

Somebody listen please

It used to be so hard bein' me

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

All thе days collided

One less pеrfect 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

[Pre-Chorus 2]

So if you're listening

There's so much more to me that you haven't seen

[Chorus]

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

[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]

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

[Outro]

Livin' in, livin' in, livin' in the shadow

Livin' in, livin' in, livin' in a new day
