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
