[Verse 1]
Bm
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
Bm
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]
Bm 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 Bm
It hurts deep inside
[Chorus]
Bm G
Just let me be Who I am
D A
It's what you really need to understand
Bm G D A
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
Bm G
And it's torturing me
D A
But I can't break free
Bm G D
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
A Bm
The silent scream
[Verse 2]
Bm
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
Bm
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]
Bm 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 Bm
It hurts deep inside
[Chorus]
Bm G
Just let me be Who I am
D A
It's what you really need to understand
Bm G D A
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
Bm G
And it's torturing me
D A
But I can't break free
Bm G D
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
A Bm
The silent scream
[Bridge]
Bm D
Can't you see
G D
How I cry for help
Bm D
Сause you should love me
G A
Just for being myself
Bm
I'll drown in an ocean
G
Of pain and emotion
D A
If you don't save me right away
[Chorus]
Bm G
Just let me be Who I am
D A
It's what you really need to understand
Bm G D A
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away
Bm G
And it's torturing me
D A
But I can't break free
Bm G D
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out
A
The silent scream
[Outro]
