Lyrics

[00:14.790] I will not make the same mistakes that you did
[00:21.079] I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
[00:28.199] I will not break the way you did
[00:32.069] You fell so hard
[00:34.389] I learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
[00:41.259] Because of you
[00:43.700] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[00:49.219] Because of you
[00:50.829] I learned to play on the safe side
[00:53.419] So I don't get hurt
[00:56.790] Because of you
[00:58.299] I find it hard to trust
[00:59.589] Not only me, but everyone around me
[01:03.249] Because of you
[01:06.109] I am afraid
[01:12.490] I lose my way
[01:14.690] And it's not too long before you point it out
[01:18.879] I cannot cry
[01:21.219] Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
[01:25.819] I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
[01:30.129] Every day of my life
[01:32.619] My heart can't possibly break
[01:35.139] When it wasn't even whole to start with
[01:39.299] Because of you
[01:40.619] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[01:46.899] Because of you
[01:47.909] I learned to play on the safe side
[01:51.590] So I don't get hurt
[01:53.859] Because of you
[01:55.509] I find it hard to trust
[01:57.139] Not only me, but everyone around me
[02:01.599] Because of you
[02:04.199] I am afraid
[02:07.819] I watched you die
[02:09.299] I heard you cry
[02:10.999] Every night in your sleep
[02:14.479] I was so young
[02:16.069] You should have known better than to lean on me
[02:21.690] You never thought of anyone else
[02:24.769] You just saw your pain
[02:29.099] And now I cry
[02:29.409] In the middle of the night
[02:32.599] Over the same damn thing
[02:39.059] Because of you
[02:41.299] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[02:46.029] Because of you
[02:47.649] I learned to play on the safe side
[02:50.039] So I don't get hurt
[02:52.890] Because of you
[02:55.289] I tried my hardest just to forget everything
[03:00.229] Because of you
[03:02.369] I don't know how to let anyone else in
[03:06.999] Because of you
[03:08.809] I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
[03:13.899] Because of you
[03:16.289] I am afraid
[03:21.999] Because of you ...
