Song lyrics

Send "Shadow" ringtones to your cell

I was six years old
When my parents went 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 used to be so hard being me

[Chorus]
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 that I am wide awake
My chains are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me

All the days collided
One next perfect then the next
I was stuck inside someone else's life 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

[Chorus]
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 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 life is good
And the past is in the past

[Chorus]
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
Ya, I can finally be
So don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sory, don;t feel sorry for me

Living in, living in, living in a shadow
Living in, living in, living in a new day

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i LOVE this song. when i hear it, it makes me wonder if this song were written about me. i'm the youngest child in my family, and i'm the forgotten one. i used to live my older brothers dream of being in a band and being a rockstar, then these people told me that i have an amazing voice and that i should go in my cities version of american idol. ashlee has unspired me in SO many ways. ~bEkAh~

94 posts	well..i dont think this whole song is the truth..bc her parents werent divorced..i think she just wants attention bc she's jessica simpson's little sister. and she's complaing about "oh im just another child blah blah blah my parents dont care about me..." uh, yeah they do. her dad worked his butt off to help her get where she is now...which personally i dont think she should have a record deal bc her "acid reflux" makes her sound horrible. so go ahead ashlee wanna-be's. say that she's the best bc you know what...in a few years youre gonna look back and be like.."what was i thinking..im so stupid."

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song because I can, like a lot of people relate to it. A lot of people have been saying like they feel so bad for Ashlee and all that and don't get me wrong I feel bad too but it's not like her parents threw her in the garage and showered Jessica with love and affection...it's just how Ashlee saw it when she was growing up. And it's how everyone who compares themselves to an older sibling feels...anyways it is a very good song with great lyrics and Ashlee rocks!

2 posts	i know that i just posted something but i just saw someone say the whole "i'm another child blah blah blah" thing and i feel the same as that person because it's true...nothing was ever really wrong with their family i don't think...anyways we don't really know her whole background so we can't judge her....

31 posts	and, um, shes a richbitch-but, i guess i do feel a lil sorry for her, but i was watching mtv, and her music video"peices of me"was showing, and her shirt said "punk", i wanted to scream"POSUER", she is sooooooooo not punk, just cause she dyed her hair black,and sang w/ a lil rasp, dosnt mean she is a punk, it means, that she is a GYNORMUS posuer for wearing iti want , and then i would be like , loser!

7 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i really like the lyrics to all of ashlee's songs. her vocals in this song are the best i've heard her (her voice aint that good to begin w/). i think the only reason ashlee got a record deal and all that stuff wuz just that jessica is her sister. i think jessica has a lot more talent than ashlee. w/e. i do like the lyrics and they are kinda sad. the song would b even better if someone else sung it.

63 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Shadow IS about her real life .. i saw the episode bout it .. and while she was about to sing in her first live show she said a little somethin and it was dedicated to her sister ... the song is deep, and yyeah alot of ppl can relate and those our the type of songs that actually can help ppl, not those crappy ones like "shake that thaang !!" even though i sing along .. there just songs .. and the PUNK on her shirt aint saying nothin .. she never said she was punk , cause a tshirt ? thats realllly jessica stupid ... havent you worn a t shirt thats says something you dont relate to ? soo umm and whats the deal with sexy pirate .. what u talkin about not liking her ? i can like her if i f$%^ want too !! soo back off .. thats ur opinion, every mind is a world ..

2 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love it,too. But in germany they don't play it very often,because she isn't very famous. Even her song ,,Pieces of me" wasn't very popular. It's great.Everything! So Ashlee go Ashlee go
