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