I will not make
The same mistake 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'll never stray to 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.
Because of you
I'll 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'll 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.
Because of you...
Because of you...
