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