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
learnt 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 it's empty Because of you I am afraid
Because of you... |
