Lyrics

[00:14.190] I will not make the same mistakes that you did
[00:20.479] I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
[00:27.599] I will not break the way you did
[00:31.469] You fell so hard
[00:33.789] I learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
[00:40.659] Because of you
[00:43.100] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[00:48.619] Because of you
[00:50.229] I learned to play on the safe side
[00:52.819] So I don't get hurt
[00:56.190] Because of you
[00:57.699] I find it hard to trust
[00:58.989] Not only me, but everyone around me
[01:04.749] Because of you
[01:07.009] I am afraid
[01:13.390] I lose my way
[01:14.690] And it's not too long before you point it out
[01:18.879] I cannot cry
[01:21.819] Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
[01:26.419] I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
[01:30.729] Every day of my life
[01:33.219] My heart can't possibly break
[01:35.739] When it wasn't even whole to start with
[01:39.899] Because of you
[01:41.219] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[01:47.499] Because of you
[01:48.509] I learned to play on the safe side
[01:52.190] So I don't get hurt
[01:54.459] Because of you
[01:56.109] I find it hard to trust
[01:57.739] Not only me, but everyone around me
[02:02.199] Because of you
[02:04.799] I am afraid
[02:08.419] I watched you die
[02:09.899] I heard you cry
[02:11.599] Every night in your sleep
[02:15.079] I was so young
[02:16.669] You should have known better than to lean on me
[02:22.290] You never thought of anyone else
[02:25.369] You just saw your pain
[02:29.699] And now I cry
[02:30.009] In the middle of the night
[02:33.199] Over the same damn thing
[02:39.659] Because of you
[02:41.899] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[02:46.629] Because of you
[02:48.249] I learned to play on the safe side
[02:50.339] So I don't get hurt
[02:53.190] Because of you
[02:55.589] I tried my hardest just to forget everything
[03:00.529] Because of you
[03:02.669] I don't know how to let anyone else in
[03:07.299] Because of you
[03:09.109] I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
[03:14.199] Because of you
[03:16.589] I am afraid
[03:22.299] Because of you
