Because Of You Lyrics

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
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
