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