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 strayed 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 And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing Because of you I never strayed 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 and now it's empty Because of you I am afraid Because of you Because of you
