Shadow by Ashlee Simpson
I was six years old
When my parents (1)________ away
I was stuck (2)____________ a (3)____________ life
I couldn't (4)________ away
She was beautiful
She had everything and more
And my (5)____________ was (6)____________ 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 (7)________ a hand to hold but every touch felt (8)________ to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now that I am (9)________ awake
My chains are finally free
Don't (10)________ sorry for me
All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life and (11)____________ second best
Oh, I (12)________ 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 (13)________ to me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to (14)________ a (15)________ to hold but every (16)__________ 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 (17)________ now
Oh, my (18)________ is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my life is good
And the (19)________ in the past
I was living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to (20)________ a hand to (21)________ but (22)__________ touch felt cold to me
I'm (23)____________ in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now (24)________ I am wide awake
Then I can finally see
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, (25)____________ in, (26)____________ in a new day
When my parents (1)________ away
I was stuck (2)____________ a (3)____________ life
I couldn't (4)________ away

She had everything and more
