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

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause 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
Notonly me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point itout
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 lifeMy heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of you
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trustNot only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I heard you cryEvery night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone elseYou just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you...
