x"Shadow"
Verse:

I was six years old
F C
When my parents went away

I was stuck inside a broken life

I couldn't wish away
She was beautiful
F C
She had everything and more
G C
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door
Prechorus:
C G
Somebody listen please
C F
It used to be so hard being me
CHORUS:
G
Living in the shadow
F
Of someone else's dream
C F
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
G
Living in a nightmare
F
A never-ending sleep
C
But now that I am wide awake
F
My chains are finally free
G
Don't feel sorry for me
Verse2:
G
All the days collided
F C
One less perfect than the next

I was stuck inside someone else's life and always second best
F C
Oh, I love you now 'cause now I realize
G C
That it's safe outside to come alive in my identity
Prechorus:
C G
So if you're listening
C F
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
CHORUS:
G
Living in the shadow
F
Of someone else's dream
C F
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 awake

Then I can finally see

Don't feel sorry-

Mother, sister, father, sister, mother

Everything's cool now

Everything's cool now

Oh, my life is good

Oh, my life is good

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
