I will not make the same mistakes

  that u did

 I will not let myself

 Cause my heart so much misery 

I will not break the way u did .

U fell so hard  I’ve learned

  the hard way

 To never let it get that far 

**Because of u  I never stray too far

 from the sidewalk

Because of u  I learned  to play

 on the safe side so  I don’t

    get hurt  Because of u  I find

 it hard to trust not only me

    but everyone  around me

 Because of u  I am afraid 

I lose  my way And it’s not too long

 before u point it out

I cannot cry Because u 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       repeat **      

 I watched u

 die I heard u cry every

night in your sleep  I was so young

 U should have known

better than to lean on me  U never

 thought of anyone else

U just saw your pain  And now

 I cry in the middle of the

  night  For the same d---  thing

Because of u  I never stray

 too far from the sidewalk

Because of u  I learned  to play

 on the safe side so  I don’t

    get hurt   Because of u  I try

my hardest just to forget

everything  Because of u  I don’t know

 how to let anyone else  in   Because of u 

I’m shamed of my life because it’s 

  empty  Because of u  I am afraid

 Because of u  Because of u
