Song lyrics
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

I LOVE this song!!! i cant exactly relate because im the oldest in my family. but ive seen driven jessica simpson and he must have been hard. and in the dominoes buffalo chicken pizza comercial jessica had all this lip gloss and make up on and a pretty strapless dress while ashlee was dressed in blue jeans and a cowgirl shirt. i mean dont get me wrong i am a fan of jessica simpson but it seems so unfair for ashlee. but thats just my opinion. i hope u all hear me out. keep it up ashlee. ur doin great!!!

omg i was practically crying when i heard this song. it is SUCH a beautiful song, and i sing it all the time. this is pretty much the story of my life since my sister is only 17 months older than me. she is prettier, she sings better than me (something i always dream of achieving) she is better than me at sports... i always compare myself to her, and i have a very low self esteem because of it... i know its wrong but i cant stop... oh well now im blabbering... hope all of you enjoyed this song as much as i did

sorry if i got a little mushy and i probably DID bore you but...

I love this song . Everytime I would see biography shows about Jessica I would think....wait ...don't they have another daughter. Where is she in all of these old videos. Then when I found out her parents were always trying to get Jess out there i felt bad because Ash was just being ignored . This song shows ashleys side of the story.

This is a really good song! The lyrics r really good! And they make sense, wut a shock! Pop stars now-a-days u can't understand wut the lyrics mean! This is better than Pieces of Me...
* offtopic :
I wonder how Jessica's feeling that Ashlee's practically stealing the spotlight from her! It used 2 b Jessica, Jessica, Jessica, now it's Ashlee, Ashlee, Ashlee, that's gotta get 2 Jess sumtime or another...Cuz both of them have talent, but different talents... Ashlee's better at song writing, and Jessica's better at singing...

It is really deep and shocking that she would write and sing about something so personal... It was a big step... I would be kinda upset though if i was Jessica i mean the song is kida dissing her pretty bad
[offtopic]music_chika she is as much of a dumb blonde as her sister.. have you even seen the show?

This is such a sad sad song! I love it tho! You can tell that she wrote it from the heart and really means what she is saying in here. I don't have an older sis. so i don't really know what it feels like but ya know. I like this song.

I dont think Ashlee is going to get bigger than her sister... i mean the girl really cant sing...
And okay..Ashlee is always talking bad about her sister in Magazines and shows.. now on one of her songs.. i mean if ir wasnt for her sister she wouldnt even be in the business! She is being aloud to sing because she is riding her sisters coat tails...
