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 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 trust, not only me but everyone around me..

Because of you, im 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,

Im forced to fake a smile, a laugh everyday of my life..

My heart cant possibly break when it wasn't even whole to start with,

Because of you I never stray 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 trust not only me but everyone else around me,

Because of you, im afraid..

I watched you die I heard you cry,

Everynight in your sleep I was so young..

You should've known better than to lean on me,

You never thought of anyone else..

I just saw your pain and now I cry,

In the middle of night for the same damn thing..

Because of you I never stray 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 tried my hardest just to forget everything..

Because of you, I don't know how to let anyone else in,

Because of you, im ashamed of my life because it's empty..

Because of you im afraid,

Because of you, because of you..
