[Verse 1]
Em
I’m caught up in your expectations
G Am
You try to make me live your dream
D Am
But I’m causing you so much frustration
C D Em
And you only want the best for me
G C
You’re wanting me to show more interest
G Dm C
To always keep a big bright smile
G Em c
Be that pinky little perfect princess
C D Em
But I’m not that type of child

[Pre-chorus]
Em C G
And the storm is rising inside of me
Em
Dontcha feel that our worlds collide?
D G C
It’s getting harder to breathe
D Em
It hurts deep inside

[Chorus]
G C
Just let me be Who I am
G D
It’s what you really need to understand
Em C G A
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 C Em
The silent scream

[Verse 2]
Em
Tell me why you’re putting pressure on me
G Am
And every day you cause me harm
D Am
That’s the reason why I feel so lonely
C D Em
Even though you hold me in your arms
Em G
Wanna put me in a box of glitter
G Am
But I’m just trying to get right out
D Em
And now you’re feeling so so bitter
C D Em
Because I’ve let you down

[Pre-chorus]
Em C G
And the storm is rising inside of me
Em
Dontcha feel that our worlds collide?
D G C
It’s getting harder to breathe
D Em
It hurts deep inside

[Chorus]
G Em
Just let me be Who I am
G D
It’s what you really need to understand
Em C G A
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 C Em
The silent scream

[Bridge]
Em G
Can’t you see
Am Em
How I cry for help
E G
Сause you should love me
C A
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]
G C
Just let me be Who I am
G D
It’s what you really need to understand
Em C G A
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 C Em
The silent scream

[Outro]
Em C G D Em
D C Em
My silent scream
