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 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 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 because it's empty
Because of you I am afraid
Because of you uh
Because of you uh
