I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself, cause my heart so much mise ry
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 side walk
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 you 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
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 side walk
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 every thing
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 emp ty
Because of you, I am a fraid
Because of you, ooh, oohhh, ohhh
Because of you, ooh, oohhh, ohhh
Ooh
