Because Of You
Because Of YouI will not makeThe same mistakes that you didI will not let myselfCause my heart so much miseryI will not breakThe way you did, you fell so hardI’ve learned the hard wayTo never let it get that farBecause of youI never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of youI learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurtBecause of youI find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around meBecause of you I am afraidI lose my wayAnd it’s not too long before you point it outI can not cryBecause I know that’s weakness in your eyesI’m forced to fakeA smile, a laugh, every day of my lifeMy heart can’t possibly breakWhen it wasn’t even whole to start withBecause of youI never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of youI learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurtBecause of youI find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around meBecause of you I am afraidI watched you dieI heard you cry every night in your sleepI was so youngYou should have known better than to lean on meYou never thought of anyone elseYou just saw your painAnd now I cry in the middle of the nightFor the same damn thingBecause of youI never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of youI learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurtBecause of youI try my hardest just to forget everythingBecause of youI don’t know how to let anyone else inBecause of youI’m ashamed of my life because it’s emptyBecause of youI am afraid
