You just saw your pain
I find it hard to trust
Because of you
Not only me, but everyone around me
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
Better than to lean on me
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
I watched you die, I heard you cry
The way you did, you fell so hard
I lose my way
My heart can't possibly break
Because of you, I am afraid
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you, I am afraid
Because of you, I am afraid
I will not break
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust
I've learned the hard way
Because of you
I'm forced to fake
You never thought of anyone else
Because of you
And it's not too long before you point it out
Every night in your sleep
So I don't get hurt
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I was so young, you should have known
I learned to play on the safe side
'Cause my heart so much misery
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
Because of you
To never let it get that far
I will not let myself
So I don't get hurt
Because of you
I cannot cry
Because of you
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side
When it wasn't even whole to start with
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
