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 to 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 you know that'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

And now I cry in the middle of the night for your!!

Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
Because of you
