I will not make the same mistakes that you did and
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 [bad word] 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
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 I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to [bad word] not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
(i still love you)
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
(you'll see i belong to you)
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
(you never saw 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] not only me,but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
ah ah ah ah
Because of you
ah ah ah ah
