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
we 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,
becasue of you I don't know how to let anyone else in.
Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because its empty
Because of you I am afraid,Because of you....,Because of you....
