Because Of You
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
