SHADOW
by Ashlee Simpson

I was six years old
When my parents .
I was stuck inside a .
I couldn't wish away.
She was beautiful.
She had everything and more.
And my escape was hiding
And running for the door.

Somebody listen please.
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's ,
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
My chains are finally free.
Don't feel sorry for me.

All the days ,
One less perfect than the next.
I was stuck inside someone else's life
And always second .
Oh, I love you now 'cos now I realize
That it's 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 ,
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch cold to me,
Living in a ,
A never-ending sleep.
But now that I am wide
Then I can finally see.
Don't feel sorry.

Mother, sister, father, sister, mother,
Everything's now.
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother,
Everything's now.
Oh, my life is good,
I've got more than anyone .
Oh, my life is good,
And the past in the past.

I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's ,
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch cold to me,
I'm living in a new day,
I'm living it for me.
And now that I am wide
Then I can finally be.
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.
