Lyrics

[00:07.16] END
[00:14.42] I will not make the same mistakes that you did
[00:22.34] I will not let myself
[00:24.93] Cause my heart so much misery
[00:28.55] I will not break the way you did
[00:33.19] You fell so hard
[00:35.61] I've learned the hard way
[00:38.36] So never let it get that far
[00:42.54] Because of you
[00:43.80] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[00:49.40] Because of you
[00:51.00] I learned to play on the
[00:53.15] safe side so I don t get hurt
[00:56.10] Because of you
[00:57.63] I find it hard to trust
[00:59.59] not only me but everyone around me
[01:03.25] Because of you
[01:06.49] I am afraid
[01:11.65] I lose my way
[01:14.16] And it's not too long
[01:16.00] before you point it out
[01:18.55] I cannot cry
[01:20.90] Because you know that s weakness in your eyes
[01:25.27] I'm forced to fake
[01:27.83] A smile a laugh everyday of my life
[01:31.84] My heart can't possibly break
[01:34.73] When it wasn't even whole to start with
[01:39.07] Because of you
[01:40.53] I never stray
[01:42.50] too far from the sidewalk
[01:45.88] Because of you
[01:47.46] I learned to play
[01:48.54] on the safe side so I don t get hurt
[01:52.85] Because of you
[01:54.20] I find it hard to trust
[01:56.12] not only me but everyone around me
[01:59.85] Because of you
[02:03.03] I am afraid
[02:06.61] I watched you die
[02:08.24] I heard you cry
[02:09.81] every night in your sleep
[02:12.96] I was so young
[02:14.77] You should have known
[02:16.30] better than to lean on me
[02:20.12] You never thought of anyone else
[02:23.19] You just saw your pain
[02:27.13] And now I cry in the middle of the night
[02:30.60] For the same damn thing
[02:37.68] Because of you
[02:38.90] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[02:44.20] Because of you
[02:46.02] I learned to play on the safe side
[02:48.64] so I don't get hurt
[02:51.32] Because of you
[02:52.40] I try my hardest
[02:53.82] just to forget everything
[02:57.62] Because of you
[02:59.30] I don't know how to let anyone else in
[03:04.42] Because of you
[03:06.79] I'm ashamed of my life because it s empty
[03:11.07] Because of you
[03:15.82] I am afraid
[03:18.63] Because of you
[03:25.58] Because of you
