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