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 youu
I am afraid


I watched you die
I heard you cry
everynight in your sleep
I was so young
You should hve 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 side walk

because of you

i learned to play on the safe side so i dont get hurt.

because of you

I try my hardest just to forget everything

because of you

I dont 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.
