Because Of You - Napster Live
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, 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 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 find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid
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, 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 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 find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid
