[00:00.00]Because Of You [00:13.21]I will not make [00:17.23]The same mistakes that you did [00:20.82]I will not let myself [00:24.69]Cause my heart so much misery [00:27.57]I will not break [00:30.86]The way you did, you fell so hard [00:34.85]I’ve learned the hard way [00:38.02]To never let it get that far [00:41.11]Because of you [00:44.15]I never stray too far from the sidewalk [00:48.67]Because of you [00:50.74]I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt [00:55.16]Because of you [00:57.58]I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me [01:01.33]Because of you I am afraid [01:08.49]I lose my way [01:13.44]And it’s not too long before you point it out [01:18.10]I can not cry [01:20.22]Because I know that’s weakness in your eyes [01:24.92]I’m forced to fake [01:27.20]A smile, a laugh, every day of my life [01:31.83]My heart can’t possibly break [01:34.22]When it wasn’t even whole to start with [01:37.47]Because of you [01:40.46]I never stray too far from the sidewalk [01:44.66]Because of you [01:47.28]I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt [01:51.25]Because of you [01:53.86]I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me [01:59.27]Because of you I am afraid [02:05.24]I watched you die [02:07.87]I heard you cry every night in your sleep [02:11.23]I was so young [02:14.44]You should have known better than to lean on me [02:18.66]You never thought of anyone else [02:23.02]You just saw your pain [02:25.61]And now I cry in the middle of the night [02:29.55]For the same damn thing [02:33.89]Because of you [02:38.42]I never stray too far from the sidewalk [02:42.76]Because of you [02:45.08]I learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurt [02:49.32]Because of you [02:51.98]I try my hardest just to forget everything [02:55.93]Because of you [02:58.64]I don’t know how to let anyone else in [03:03.41]Because of you [03:05.85]I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty [03:09.99]Because of you [03:12.76]I am afraid [03:16.48]
