Verse 1 You said we’d talk, I wait all day Your name lights up, I know you’re there A fleeting “hey,” if I’m lucky, rare I tell myself it’s fine, pretend I don't care But my chest is heavy, I can’t deny I’m holding my breath, just to get by You send me a line, then disappear I see you online, but you’re never here And I’m stuck alone, drowning in fear I know it’s childish, I know it’s wrong But I’ve been seething for far too long Pre-Chorus You say we’ll talk, but it’s never enough A handful of minutes—I crave your voice I try to stay calm, try to breathe Still, I’m stuck waiting for a sign Chorus I wanna scream, I wanna shout I’m not stupid, don’t shut me out I’m not pretend, I’m not a joke Why do I feel so damn disposable? I hate this silence, it’s cutting through I care too much, it’s wrecking my life Tear this screen, let it all out I’m not childish, I’m not a fool But I can’t stop missing you Why do I feel so damn invisible? Verse 2 Every “I’m fine” I send’s a lie Boiling over, I can’t deny Minutes a day, if I get that While you scroll away, I’m full of unrest You’re out of reach, with your friends But your status shows the time you spend So I stay quiet, afraid to break Hoping somehow you’ll feel my ache Pre-Chorus I’m not pretending, I’m not your game I bite my tongue, but I’m not to blame My heart’s on fire, my mind won’t leave This screaming silence beats in my chest Why do I feel so damn small, so damn unseen? Chorus I wanna scream, I wanna shout I’m not stupid, don’t shut me out I’m not pretend, I’m not a joke Why do I feel so damn disposable? I hate this silence, it’s cutting through I care too much, it’s wrecking my life Tear this screen, let it all out I’m not childish, I’m not a fool But I can’t stop missing you Why do I feel so damn invisible? Bridge I scream inside, but it won’t reach you Rant and shout, nothing breaks through I see your space, I see your life Still, I’m aching for just a sign tonight I’m sick of hurting, I’m sick of this fight I know it’s messy, I know the cost But I can’t control the way I feel Chorus I wanna scream, I wanna shout I’m not stupid, don’t shut me out I’m not pretend, I’m not a joke Why do I feel so damn disposable? I seethe in silence, it eats me alive I care too much, it poisons my mind Tear this screen, let it all out I’m not childish, I’m not a fool But I can’t stop missing you Why do I feel so damn invisible? Outro All the words I need, I can’t send Seething inside, alone again A quiet ache I can’t defend Staring at the screen, alone in my room Wishing you’d notice, wishing you’d write Just a few words, just some time Instead of leaving me here, losing my mind

Screaming Inside
