Lyrics

[00:15.090] I will not make the same mistakes that you did
[00:21.379] I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
[00:28.499] I will not break the way you did
[00:32.369] You fell so hard
[00:34.689] I learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
[00:41.559] Because of you
[00:44.000] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[00:49.519] Because of you
[00:51.129] I learned to play on the safe side
[00:53.719] So I don't get hurt
[00:57.090] Because of you
[00:58.599] I find it hard to trust
[00:59.889] Not only me, but everyone around me
[01:03.549] Because of you
[01:06.409] I am afraid
[01:12.790] I lose my way
[01:14.990] And it's not too long before you point it out
[01:19.179] I cannot cry
[01:21.519] Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
[01:26.119] I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
[01:30.429] Every day of my life
[01:32.919] My heart can't possibly break
[01:35.439] When it wasn't even whole to start with
[01:39.599] Because of you
[01:40.919] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[01:47.199] Because of you
[01:48.209] I learned to play on the safe side
[01:51.890] So I don't get hurt
[01:54.159] Because of you
[01:55.809] I find it hard to trust
[01:57.439] Not only me, but everyone around me
[02:01.899] Because of you
[02:04.499] I am afraid
[02:08.119] I watched you die
[02:09.599] I heard you cry
[02:11.299] Every night in your sleep
[02:14.779] I was so young
[02:16.369] You should have known better than to lean on me
[02:21.990] You never thought of anyone else
[02:25.069] You just saw your pain
[02:29.399] And now I cry
[02:29.709] In the middle of the night
[02:32.899] Over the same damn thing
[02:39.359] Because of you
[02:41.599] I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[02:46.329] Because of you
[02:47.949] 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 ...
