Will I always be stuck in their shadow?
Fulfilling dreams that aren't mine
Living up to expectations just to waste time
Time to tell them that I've stopped being that little girl that was nine
Who's main goal in life was to satisfy...
her parents, her grandmother, her teachers
Will I always be stuck in their shadow?
Constantly lying about things that aren't true
Lying about the good, the bad, the old, and the new
Lying about being with you
Lying about my part in that too
Will I always be stuck in their shadow?
Afraid to use my spine
When will I start making my life actually be mine
All I've done is coward and hide, time after time
But the only person suffering is me, I'm going out of my mind
Will I always be stuck in their shadow?
Afraid of their disappointment
Afraid to be me
Living my life afraid of everything
Maybe this is a sign...
My life is finally ready to be mine
