Because Of You - Napster Live

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

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 find it hard to trust

Not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you, I am afraid
