I will not make the same mistake that yo
u did

I will not let myself cause my heart so
much misery

I will not break the way you did, you fe
ll so hard

I've learned the hard way, to never let
it get that far

Because of you, I never stray too far fr
om 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 bef
ore you point out

I can not cry, because you know that's w
eakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh eve
ryday of my life

My heart can't possibly break, when it w
asn't even whole to start with

Because of you, I never stray too far fr
om 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 be
tter then to learn on me

You never thought of anyone else, you ju
st 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 fr
om 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 b
ecause it's empty
Because of you, I an afraid
Because of you
