(no subject)
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
because of you i am afraid
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 am ashamed of my life because it's empty
because of you i am afraid
because of you
