[00:15.700]I will not make the same mistakes that you did
[00:21.300]I will not let myself
[00:25.500]Cause my heart so much misery
[00:29.300]I will not break the way you did
[00:33.950]You fell so hard
[00:36.300]I've learned the hard way
[00:38.950]To never let it get that far
[00:43.000]Because of you
[00:44.950]I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[00:49.950]Because of you
[00:51.600]I learned to play on the safe side so I don t get hurt
[00:56.950]Because of you
[00:58.500]I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
[01:04.050]Because of you
[01:06.950]I am afraid
[01:12.300]I lose my way
[01:14.750]And it s not too long before you point it out
[01:18.900]I cannot cry
[01:21.750]Because you know that s weakness in your eyes
[01:25.800]I'm forced to fake
[01:28.500]A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
[01:32.850]My heart can't possibly break
[01:35.500]When it wasn't even whole to start with
[01:39.900]Because of you
[01:41.600]I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[01:46.500]Because of you
[01:48.300]I learned to play on the safe side so I don t get hurt
[01:53.400]Because of you
[01:55.300]I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
[02:00.500]Because of you
[02:03.600]I am afraid
[02:07.550]I watched you die
[02:09.100]I heard you cry every night in your sleep
[02:13.850]I was so young
[02:15.800]You should have known better than to lean on me
[02:20.950]You never thought of anyone else
[02:24.100]You just saw your pain
[02:27.600]And now I cry in the middle of the night
[02:31.500]For the same damn thing
[02:37.800]Because of you
[02:39.900]I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[02:44.800]Because of you
[02:46.600]I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
[02:51.600]Because of you
[02:53.600]I try my hardest just to forget everything
[02:58.400]Because of you
[03:00.350]I don't know how to let anyone else in
[03:05.350]Because of you
[03:07.350]I'm ashamed of my life because it s empty
[03:12.600]Because of you
[03:14.400]I am afraid
[03:19.450]Because of you
[03:26.350]Because of you
