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, u feel so hard,

i`ve learned the hard way,

to never let it get that far.

because of you,

i never stray to 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 possily break,

when it wasn't even whole to start with.

i watched you died, 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.

because of you,

i tried my hardest just forget everything,

because of you,

i don't know how to let anyone else in.

because of you,

i'm ashamed of my life because it's empty,

because of you, i am afraid.

because of you...because of youuu...
