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 its not too long before you point it out,
I cannot cry, because you 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…

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 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 its empty
Because of you, I am, afraid, because of you.
Because of you.
