Because Of You |
| 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 |
| 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 |
