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 you 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 the same damn 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
|
