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 you 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 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 Hi Because of you hi hi
