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

1 posts	i think that ashlee is doing an awesome job in the music biz so far... ...it's got to be hard to follow someone like her sister, and i think this song shows, in amaZing melody, how she finally has...i love how she sings it genuinely and from the heart, with everything she's got

14 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Poor Ashlee. Lets not deny the shadow she was living in. No, it wasn't Jessica. It was her father, the opera singer turned sex offender. All teh publicity, reporters eveywhere, paparatzi. Its sad that The Criminal who fathered young Ashlee had a story so followed by news stations that Ashlee couldn't debut her CD until he was locked away for good and now...she has plans to kill jessica. OMG!

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Well I agree with most of you the song is a really good song. But some of you are saying that she is 'dissing Jessica' a lot, and really she isn`t. This song is about Ashlee growing up in the shadow of Ashlee. Jessica was being discovered and it was hard for Ashlee because Jessica was getting a lot of attention from most people. Plus Jessica knew what she wanted to do for her career since she was really young and Ashlee wasn`t sure yet. So this song really isn`t a song about 'dissing Jessica.' It`s about coming out of just being known as 'Jessica`s younger sister' to being known as 'Ashlee Simpson' and that Ashlee has finally found her own identity.

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal 1st of all, Darciedo and Hottie 08 r they dumbest people i've ever heard. so wat if she whines and crys, it just shows she has drama in her life. Anywayz this song can relate to MANY people including me. Her album is very tight and is MUCH betta then Jessica. Rock on girl!!

45 posts	i like this song. i can kinda relate to it. my sister is so "perfect"... and when i was a kid i always thought that i had to be as perfect as her, do everything that she did. i thought that my parents wouldnt like me as much because i wasnt like her in every way. and it sucked. living like that sucked sooo much. but now im a bit older and i realize that i need to be my own person. and i feel so much better. and i love my sister so, i can understand this song. and i think that it is a really good song! ashlee gets really personal on this album, which is really cool. i didnt think i was going to like it that much, but its cool

6 posts	I don't like this song. I mean every younger sibling is basically in a shadow. I'd much rather be in the shadow of Jessica Simpson than my older brother. I mean come on...they're effing rich. How bad would that be growing up? A lot of people have it a lot worse.

17 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal this is a good song and i could relate a lot up until she said now shes awake and we shouldn't feel sorry for her? what the hell? yeah wine,wine,wine, COMPLAIN! but don't feel bad cuz now i have an album even though i can't sing for crap... i like her lyrics and the songs are cool but she has a terrible voice and i don't think shes a wannabe or anything i just think she should stick with actng or something cuz she is a very bad singer and if you see some of her shows or see her perform live you can hear what she really sounds like and it isn't pretty

17 posts	oh and i agree with lalala a lot of people do have it worse that having a perfect sister and loads of money like some people have real problems not this i'm not as popular or famous as my sister shit

32 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I HATE ASHLEE SIMPSON!!! SHE CANT SING, HER SONGS STINK (ESPECAILLY THIS ONE) AND JESSICA IS SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER! UGH!! I CANT STAND HER!! THE ONLY REASON I WAS LOOKING AT THESE LYRICS ARE BECAUSE I WANTED TO HEAR WHAT SHE WAS MUMBLING ON THE RADIO. NOT THAT I CARE! ALSO HER SHOW IS HORRIFIC. IT'S SO POINTLESS. IT'S LIKE PICKING A RANDOM PERSON OFF THE STREET AND HAVING A SHOW ABOUT THEM!! I HATE HER!! EWW
