lirik lagu 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 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 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 Over the same damn thing
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 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
