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

Every day of my life

My heart can't possibly break when it wasn't even whole to start with

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
