I'm caught up in your expectations
You try to make me live your dream
But I'm causing you so much frustration
And you only want the best for me
You're wanting me to show more interest
To always keep a big bright smile
But everyday I fail to impress
So I cry once in a while
And the storm is rising inside of me
Don't cha feel that our 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've let you down
And the storm is rising inside of me
Don't cha feel that our 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
Cuz 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
