| 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
|
| 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
|
| Because of you
|
| Because of you I am afraid
|
| 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 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 |
