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 fay from de 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
