Ah... ah...
Mmm...
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 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 ah...
Because of you
Ooh... ah...
