Scream [x2]
Scream [x2]

I can't deny
What I feel
But should I
Set it free?
-Let her go
-No let het not
-Yes I will
-No she's too hot

Screams of frustration
I can't decide
What to do
What do I want
I have no clue

I don't know

Scream [x2]

No way out
No escape
Times run out
Leave or take?

-Let her go
-No let het not
-Yes I will
-No she's too hot

Screams of frustration
I can't decide
What to do
What do I want
I have no clue





I don't know
