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 learned the hard way
|
to never let it get that far
|
Because of you
|
I never stray too far
|
from the side walk
|
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 side walk
|
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
|
Over the same damn thing
|
Because of you
|
I never stray too far
|
from the side walk
|
Because of you
|
I learned to play on the safe side
|
so I don't get hurt
|
Because of you
|
I tried 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
|
