[Verse 1]
C#m
I'm caught up in your expectations
E
You try to make me live your dream
B
But I'm causing you so much frustration
A B
And you only want the best for me
C#m
You try to make me show more interest
E
To always keep a big bright smile
B
Be that pinky little perfect princess
A B
But I'm not that type of child
[Pre-chorus]
C#m A E
And the storm is rising inside of me
Dontcha feel that our worlds collide?
B A
It's getting harder to breathe
B C#m
It hurts deep inside
[Chorus]
C#m A
Just let me be Who I am
E B
It's what you really need to understand
C#m A E B
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
C#m A
And it's torturing me
E B
But I can't break free
C#m A E
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
B C#m
The silent scream
[Verse 2]
C#m
Tell me why you're putting pressure on me
E
And every day you cause me harm
B
That's the reason why I feel so lonely
A B
Even though you hold me in your arms
C#m
Wanna put me in a box of glitter
E
But I'm just trying to get right out
B
And now you're feeling so so bitter
A B
Because I've let you down
[Pre-chorus]
C#m A E
And the storm is rising inside of me
Dontcha feel that our worlds collide?
B A
It's getting harder to breathe
B C#m
It hurts deep inside
[Chorus]
C#m A
Just let me be Who I am
E B
It's what you really need to understand
C#m A E B
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
C#m A
And it's torturing me
E B
But I can't break free
C#m A E
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
B C#m
The silent scream
[Bridge]
C#m E
Can't you see
A E
How I cry for help
C#m E
Сause you should love me
A B
Just for being myself
C#m
I'll drown in an ocean
A
Of pain and emotion
E B
If you don't save me right away
[Chorus]
C#m A
Just let me be Who I am
E B
It's what you really need to understand
C#m A E B
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
C#m A
And it's torturing me
E B
But I can't break free
C#m A E
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
B
The silent scream
[Outro]
C#m A E B C#m
C#m A E
B C#m
My silent scream
