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 everyday 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 that same d___ thing

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
Because of you
