I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will 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

CHorus:

Because of you I never stray to far from the side walk

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 can not 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

Chorus

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young

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 am afraid

Because of you I never stray to far from the side walk

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
