Il testo della Because of you

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 strayed 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 strayed 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 strayed 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 tried my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you, i am afraid

Because of you
Oh oh oh
Because of you
Oh oh oh.
