I'm caught up in your e pectations;

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'tcha 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 every day 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 bo 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'tcha 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?

Сause 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...
