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've 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 can not cry because I 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

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk
because of you I learned to play on the safe side so don't I 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 fate
and now I cry in the middle of the night
for that same d___ fate

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
