I was six years old
When my parents sent me away
I was stuck inside a scared life
I couldn't scream fears away
It was horrible
It had everything bad
And my escape was hiding out and running for the door

Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Scared of my shadow
Of my own
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 in an instution
My fears are finally free
Don't feel sorry for me

All the nights collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside my fears
Oh, I love you now 'cause i'm on medications
That it's safe now that i won't scream

So if you're listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen
Scared of my shadow
Of my own
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 in an instution
Then I can finally see that was my mind playing tricks on me
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 mind is good
I've got more than anyone should
Oh, my mind is good
And the past is in the past

I am scared of my shadow
Of my own
Trying to find a hand to hold but every touch felt cold to me
I'm living in a new mind
I'm living it as a new life
And now that I am in an instution
Then I can finally see that it was all in my mind
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry, don't feel sorry for me

i was scared of my shadow
and now i know it was all in my mind
