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 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 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 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 pain and now i cry in the middle of the night for the same damn 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 try my hardest just to 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 you
