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 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
Over 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 tried 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
