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 side so I don't get hurt
Because of you,
I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
Because of you,
I am afraid..
I 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 laugh, every 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 you,
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you,
I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
Because of you,
I am afraid..
I watched you die,
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young,
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else,
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing!
Because of you,
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you,
I've learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you,
I try 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..
Because of you...
Because of you...
