|
I will not make |
|
The same mistakes that you did |
|
I will not let myself |
|
'Cause my heart so much misery |
|
I will not break |
|
The way you did, you fell so hard |
|
I've learned the hard way |
|
To never let it get that far |
|
Because of you |
|
I never stray too far from the sidewalk |
|
Because of you |
|
I learned to play on the safe side |
|
So I don't get hurt |
|
Because of you |
|
I find it hard to trust |
|
Not only me, but everyone around me |
|
Because of you, I am afraid |
|
I lose my way |
|
And it's not too long before you point it out |
|
I cannot cry |
|
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes |
|
I'm forced to fake |
|
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life |
|
My heart can't possibly break |
|
When it wasn't even whole to start with |
|
Because of you |
|
I never stray too far from the sidewalk |
|
Because of you |
|
I learned to play on the safe side |
|
So I don't get hurt |
|
Because of you |
|
I find it hard to trust |
|
Not only me, but everyone around me |
|
Because of you, I am afraid |
|
I watched you die, I heard you cry |
|
Every night in your sleep |
|
I was so young, you should have known |
|
Better than to lean on me |
|
You never thought of anyone else |
|
You just saw your pain |
|
And now I cry in the middle of the night |
|
For the same damn thing |
|
Because of you |
|
I never stray too far from the sidewalk |
|
Because of you |
|
I learned to play on the safe side |
|
So I don't get hurt |
|
Because of you |
|
I tried my hardest just to forget everything |
|
Because of you |
|
I don't know how to let anyone else in |
|
Because of you |
|
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty |
|
Because of you, I am afraid |
|
Because of you |
|
Because of you |
