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,
It felt 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 everyday 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 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 I'm ashamed of my life
because it's empty Because of you I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you.....
