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, you fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you,
I’ll 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’ll 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’ll 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
