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

(chorus)
Because of you i never strayed to 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 find it hard to trust, not only me,
But everyone around me, because of you, i am afraid

I lose my way, and its 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

(chorus)

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, doin the same damn thing

(chorus, but slightly different)
Because of you i never strayed to 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 its empty
Because of you, i am afraid

Because of you…

Because of you…
