Intro: Scream
(When I was younger, I...)
Verse 1:
Didn’t know how to speak that well, or have any jokes to tell
I went down the stairs and fell,
but nobody helped
Went home as they ring the bell,
is that a good thing? I can’t tell ‘Cause I just crawl back to my shell, hide from everyone else
Pre-chorus 1:
Life was like a private quiet hell
In my head, I can’t stop blaming myself
Chorus 1:
Why can’t I say what I really wanna say?
Why do I dream things that make me scream? Is it right to smile through the day,
when all I do inside is just scream?
Scream
Verse 2:
My thoughts became a prison cell I was a danger to my self
All my guilt and my shame
were hard to make sense
Pre-chorus 2:
I didn’t want my sadness to hurt
anyone else
But the one I hurt most by thinking that, was myself
Chorus 2:
Why can’t I say what I really wanna say?
Why do I dream things that make me scream? It’s not right to smile through the day,
when all I do inside is just scream?
Scream
Bridge:
Spent my youth, covering my tears with all my wit Can’t look up while I see my shoe take a spit
Too shy as I share only where medic sit
Strangers eating my cake wondering, “but wait, who’s birthday is it?”
Who’s birthday is it?
Pre-chorus 3:
Hope my sentimental wounds will heal Oh, time changes, I’ll make peace within, I’m learning how...
Chorus 3:
...to say what I really wanna say
So I can dream things that set me free
I look forward to smile through the day, without hiding inside, where I just scream Scream
Outro:
It’s okay now It’s okay
