"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 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 Everyday 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
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 It's Empty
Because Of You
I Am Afraid

Because Of You
Because Of You
