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