I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I learned to play on the safe sideSo I don't get hurt
Because of youI find it hard to trustNot only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraidI lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laughEvery day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of youI learned to play on the safe side So I don't get hurt
Because of youI find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraidI watched you die
I heard you cryEvery night in your sleep
I was so youngYou should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cryIn the middle of the nightFor the same damn thing
Because of youI never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurtBecause of youI tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
