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

52 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Ashlee is so brave for taking a chance and not worrying about what other people think, she just looked away from them all and went for it. This song is so deep, it rocks.

110 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is great...about her always living in the shadow of her sisters dreams. She is so much better than her sister Jessica...I don´t understand how some people can compare them to each other...it´s two different kind of tastes. They have so different music. Ashlee rocks!

Dont feel sorry for her and about that thing on Saturday Night Live...She lipsang because her voice wasnt strong enough for a performance that day... And if people are still talking about it...You could never understand it... And I'm looking forward for her new movie. It's the biggest part she have had yet... This is her year... Go Ashlee! I'm sooo gonna by her album...

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal the first time i heard this song i thought she was whining about how hard her life was. now when i hear it and after reading what everyone else on the site had to say about it...i HATE it. i could sing better than her anyday. i think she's whiny, selfish, over rated, and rude. i dont watch her show a bunch but EVERY time i have seen it she is REALLY rude to her dad. i dont think she was dissing on her sister but she was really harsh on her parents. she has a point but she exagerates on how painful her life was. com on!....i have 10 siblings and all of us go through being invisible. i heard on tv that she hired a voice trainer (probably for the acid reflex cuz i kno that probabaly makes it hard to sing) and he left early cuz he said she was hopeless. i hate her voice. i do luv music but this isnt music...its crap. cry me a river ashlee, u suck and u need to stop pretending that ur a natural star.

258 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Is this how she felt about her sister or something? Whose shadow is she talking about? Well anyway yeah this is a nice song, sounds somewhat like Christina Aguilera's Beautiful though....for a strange reason...hehehe! Yeah, a lot of people can relate to it, that's why it's quite nice!

273 posts	Ashlee needs to get over herself. Honestly, people are supposed to grow from the challenges that they face, not exploit them in a badly sung, wannabe-ish pop song. She just seems like a jealous little sister who wants people to feel bad for her. She probably thought, oh wow, having jessica as my famous sister kind of sucked, but now lets see if it can make ME famous too! Seriously Ashlee, quit your bitchin and your singing because NO ONE wants to hear it.
