Shadow by Ashlee Simpson
I was six years old
When my parents (1)________ 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 (2)________ to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a hand to hold but (3)__________ 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 (4)________ sorry for me
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was (5)__________ inside someone else's life and always second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
That it's (6)________ 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 (7)________ 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 (8)________ now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the past 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
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel (9)__________ for me
Don't (10)________ sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Living in, living in, living in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
When my parents (1)________ 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
