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.
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 am afraid.
