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
Fell so hard
I've learned the hard way to never let it get that far
Because of you I never stay too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I've learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Becuase 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 so 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 everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break when it wasn't even whole to stay with
Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you I've 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've 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
