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 find it hard to trust
not only me, but everyone around me
because of you i am afraid
because of you
because of you
