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