I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself, caused my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did, it felt so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of you, I have the strength to fall 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, no, I don't want anything, babe, 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 hard to start with
Because of you, I have the strength to fall 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, no, I don't want anything, babe, 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've known, but you had to lean on me
Because of you, I have the strength to fall 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, no, I don't want anything, babe, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid
