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