Because of you

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 stay 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,
everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid

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 don't know how to let anyone else in my life
Because of you I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you...
