Lyrics

Scream

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I take a minute to tell you right

And you can say what you want

You turn around every night

So now you're always going off

Doesn't matter what I done

Or if I even crossed the line

You start to holler, going for blood

Girl, it doesn't have to be a fight

Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault

Messing with my brain when you want to see me fall

There may come a time when I don't bother you at all

It isn't my call, it isn't my call

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

[There's no need to scream, baby

I'm standing right in front of your face

Why?

I know sometimes we don't get along

So Chris sing the second verse to you

Like this]

Take a minute to tell you now

And I don't have to raise my tone

Take the level and bring it down

I just want you to know

I got no trouble with what you said

I don't even think you're wrong

It's how you say it

You lose your head

Girl I'm standing right in front of you

Throwing out the blame when you know it ain't my fault

Messing with my brain when you want to see me fall

There may come a time when I don't bother you at all

It isn't my call, it isn't my call

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

Silence is golden

I used to think that silence was golden

Hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

I say hey, why you keep screaming at the top of your head?

Silence is golden

I used to think that silence was golden
