Oh oh oh
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
everyday 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 **** 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 try 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
