-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  
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 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"
