Lyrics

[00:15.490] I will not make the same mistakes that you did
[00:22.580] I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
[00:29.070] I will not break the way you did
[00:33.570] You fell so hard
[00:35.890] I learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
[00:42.760] Because of you
[00:44.310] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[00:49.520] Because of you
[00:51.130] I learned to play on the safe side
[00:53.720] So I don't get hurt
[00:56.380] Because of you
[00:58.060] I find it hard to trust
[00:59.890] Not only me, but everyone around me
[01:03.550] Because of you
[01:06.710] I am afraid
[01:12.050] I lose my way
[01:14.430] And it's not too long before you point it out
[01:18.880] I cannot cry
[01:21.220] Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
[01:25.820] I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
[01:30.130] Every day of my life
[01:32.620] My heart can't possibly break
[01:35.140] When it wasn't even whole to start with
[01:39.300] Because of you
[01:40.920] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[01:46.090] Because of you
[01:47.610] I learned to play on the safe side
[01:50.370] So I don't get hurt
[01:52.960] Because of you
[01:54.610] I find it hard to trust
[01:56.240] Not only me, but everyone around me
[02:00.070] Because of you
[02:03.300] I am afraid
[02:06.920] I watched you die
[02:08.400] I heard you cry
[02:10.100] Every night in your sleep
[02:13.580] I was so young
[02:15.170] You should have known better than to lean on me
[02:20.440] You never thought of anyone else
[02:23.870] You just saw your pain
[02:27.390] And now I cry
[02:29.110] In the middle of the night
[02:31.100] Over the same damn thing
[02:37.260] Because of you
[02:39.200] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[02:44.530] Because of you
[02:46.150] I learned to play on the safe side
[02:48.540] So I don't get hurt
[02:51.460] Because of you
[02:52.890] I tried my hardest just to forget everything
[02:58.130] Because of you
[02:59.670] I don't know how to let anyone else in
[03:04.900] Because of you
[03:06.710] I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
[03:11.800] Because of you
[03:14.190] I am afraid
[03:19.090] Because of you
