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,
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,
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…
