Ohh ohh mmm,Ohh ohh mmm



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 it;s weakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh

Everyday 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



Because of you...you...

Because of you...you...
