I will not make / the same mistakes that you did / I will not let myself / cause my heart so misery / I will not break / the way you did , you fell so hard / I've learned the hard way / to never let it get 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 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 can not 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
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 night / for the same damn thing
Because of you / Because of you / because of you I am afraid / 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 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
