Shadow by Ashlee Simpson

I was six years old
When my parents went away
I was (1)__________ (2)____________ a broken life
I couldn't (3)________ away
She was beautiful
She had (4)____________________ and more
And my escape was (5)____________ 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 find a hand to (6)________ but (7)__________ touch felt cold to me
Living in a nightmare
A never-ending sleep
But now (8)________ I am (9)________ awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me

All the days collided
One less (10)______________ than the next
I was stuck (11)____________ someone else's (12)________ and always second best
Oh, I love 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 more to me you haven't seen
Living in the shadow
Of someone else's dream
Trying to (13)________ a (14)________ to hold but every touch (15)________ (16)________ 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 cool now
Oh, my life is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my (17)________ 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 (18)__________ felt (19)________ to me
I'm living in a new day
I'm living it for me
And now that I am (20)________ awake
Then I can finally see
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't (21)________ sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel (22)__________ for me

Living in, (23)____________ in, (24)____________ in the shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day
