Gm A# D# Dm
I am strong when I'm quiet
Gm A# D# Dm
I never let you see me stall
Gm A# D# Dm
I can hate what you say and still smile
Gm A# D# Dm
Only play on an open court
Gm A# D# Dm
I am the ringleader of my own circle
Gm A# D# Dm
Fall on my knees and I won't bleed
Gm A# D# Dm
Set me on fire and I'll fall to sleep
Gm A# D# Dm
The pain of my scolds sets me free
Gm A# D# Dm
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Gm A# D# Dm
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
Gm A# D# Dm
Drown me in silence and suddenly I'm floating
Gm A# D# Dm
I rip me apart with one look
Gm A# D# Dm
Use my heart as a crutch for my ego
Gm A# D# Dm
And hope that I never never fall in love
Gm A# D# Dm
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Gm A# D# Dm
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
Gm A# D# Dm
I must survive
Gm A# D# Dm
This wonderful punishment called life
Gm A# D# Dm
Use my heart and unravel it
Gm A# D# Dm
My innocence is all gone
Gm A# D# Dm
Torn apart and I can't handle it
Gm A# D# Dm
My innocence is all gone
Gm A# D# Dm
I can not Breathe (yeah)
Gm A# D# Dm
Let me be free (yeah) from myself
Gm A# D# Dm
I must survive
Gm A# D# Dm
This wonderful punishment called life
Gm A# D# Dm Gm
