She had everything and more
And my (2)____________ was hiding out and running for the door

Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Living in the shadow
Of (3)______________ 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 (4)________ I am (5)________ awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel (6)__________ for me

All the (7)________ collided
One (8)________ (9)______________ than the next
I was stuck inside someone else's (10)________ and (11)____________ second best
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
That it's safe (12)______________ to (13)________ alive in my identity

Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to find a (15)________ to hold but (16)__________ touch felt (17)________ to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now (18)________ I am wide awake
