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
My escape, was hiding out, running for the door


Everyone thinks just because I'm Jeff Hardy I get much more attention than my tight-ass brother. But that's far from the truth. Ever since we were kids, Matt was always the talented one. He knew how to do everything. All I ever heard was "Why don't you be more like your brother?" Had it ever occured to them that I'm not my brother.

Somebody listen please
It used to be so hard being me
Livin in the shadow of someone elses dream
Tryin to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Livin in the nightmare
Never ended sleep
Now that I am wide awake
I changed it finally free
Don't feel so real for me


Matt is perfect. He has a perfect body, perfect personality, perfect IQ, you name it and it's perfect. I never wanted to be a wrestler, I wanted to work in the music scene and maybe produce a few songs for my favourite bands. But since Matt did it, I had to do it. As you know; he trained me. He made me, he also tried to break me.

All the days collided
One less perfect than the next
I was stuck inside someone elses life
And always second best
Oh I love you now
Cause now I realize
That It's safe outside, to come alive
in my idenity
So If your listening
There's so much more to me you haven't seen


Everyone already knew that I'm gay. But when Matt found out I was gay he made my life a living hell. He told my dad, who is very anti-gay thus I was disowned. He told the locker room and I was the human punching bag. It got so bad that I had to switch to TNA. Most of the guys there are queer so I easily fitted in.

Livin in the shadow of someone elses dream
Tryin to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
Livin in the nightmare
Never ended sleep
Now that I am wide awake
I can finally be
Don't feel sorry for me!


I never thought that one day I'd be this famous. I never thought I'd have so many fans. I always thought Matt would have everything and I would be the guy in the back. It was always 'Whatever Matthew wants, Matthew gets'. No matter how big or small it was. And of course to this day, it is still like that. The greedy bastard.

Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Mother, sister, father, sister, mother
Everything's cool now
Oh my life is good
I got more than anyone should
Oh my life is good
And the past is in the past


But as usual life goes on. I am now happily wrestling on TNA without having to be like my homophobic brother. I never knew life would get this good for me. I've got the greatest friends, the greatest pets, and the greatest job ever. And I finally found Mr. Right. Could my life be any better? I finally feel like Matt!

I was livin in the shadow of someone elses dream
Trying to find a hand to hold
But every touch felt cold to me
I'm livin in a new day
I'm livin it for me
And now that I am wide awake
I can finally be
Don't feel sorry for me
Don't feel sorry for me, don't feel sorry.


As for Matt? He's getting married to his sweety Amy in May. A nice spring wedding. And I won't be there! While he's tying the knot, I'll be in New York City partying it up with Shannon and a few other friends. If I were to face my brother again, I'd have to kill him. And who would want to see Jeff Hardy in jail? Who would want to see Jeff Hardy get raped by some big burly guy named Molly. Certanly not I. But hey, I guess you may never know what will happen in the future.

Livin in, livin in, livin in... the shadow
Livin in, livin in, livin in... a new day
