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 like 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 like 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 like 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 oooo
Because of you oooo
