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 interest To always keep a big bright smile But everyday I fail to impress So I cry once in a while 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
