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 so hard
I 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
Over 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 tried
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 it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
Because of you ha~
Because of you hu~
THE END
