Silent Scream

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
