( F#m  D  A  E ) (2x)
( F#m )

F#m
 I'm caught up in your expectations.
A
 You're trying to make me live your dream.
E
 But I'm causing you so much frustration.
D                       E
 And you only want the best for me.
F#m
 You wanted me to show more interests.
A
 To always keep a big bright smile

E
 Be that pinky little perfect princess.
D                    E
 But I'm not that type of child.
F#m
 And this storm is rising inside of me.
A
 Don't you feel that our whole worlds collide?
E                                D
 It's getting harder to breathe.
     E           F#m
 It hurts deep inside.

           F#m
Just let me be.
       D
Who I am
     A                       E
It's what you really need to understand.
      F#m                D          A       E
And I hope so hard for the pain to go away.
    F#m          D
And it's torturing me.
      A           E
But I can't break free.
    F#m               D                 A
So I cry and cry but just won't get it out.
E              F#m
The silent scream.

F#m
 Tell me why you're putting pressure on me.
A
 And everyday you cause me harm.
E
 That's the reason why I feel so lonely
D                E
 Even though you hold me in your arms.
F#m
 Wanna put me in a box of glitter.
A
 But I'm just trying to get right out.
E
 And now you're feeling so so bitter.
D               E
 Because I let you down.
F#m
 And this storm is rising inside of me.
A
 Don't you feel that our whole worlds collide?
E
 It's getting harder to breathe.
D              E      F#m
 It hurts deep inside.

      A           E
But I can't break free.

So I cry and cry but just won't get it out.
E              F#m
The silent scream.

 F#m                 D
Can't you see how I cry for help
   A                                  E
Cause you should love me just for being myself
  F#m
I'll drown in an ocean.
  D
Of pain and emotion.
  A                      E
If you don't save me right away.

   F#m
Just let me be.
       D
Who I am
