I will not make The same mistakes that you did I will not let myself 'Cause my heart is 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
Refrain: Because of you I never stray to far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the save 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 loose my way And it's not to long before you point it out I can not 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 hole to start with
Refrain
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 to far from the sidewalk Because of you I learned to play on the save 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
