I will not mak

           
e the same mis

             
takes that you

 
 did
           
I will not let

Cause my heart

            
 so much miser

y
            
I will not bre

       
ak the way you

 did,
      
You fell so ha

rd
             
I've learned t

       
he hard way
           
To never let i

             
t get that far

CHORUS :
           
Because of you

  
             
I never stray 

              
too far from t

       
he sidewalk
           
Because of you
              
I learned to p

             
lay on the saf

n't get hurt

I find it hard

             
 to trust not

veryone around

      
 me
             
Because of you

 
          
I am afraid


           
I lose my way
           
And it's not t

             
oo long before

   
 you point it 

out
          
I cannot cry
           
Because you kn

             
ow that's weak

              
ness in your e

  
yes
             
I'm forced to 

  
fake
           
A smile, a lau

             
gh everyday of

          
 my life
             
My heart can't

    
 possibly brea

k
           
When it wasn't

              
 even whole to

[CHORUS]


             
I watched you 

#
die
             
I heard you cr

              
y every night 

            
in your sleep
            
I was so young


              
You should hav

             
e known better

           
 than to lean 

on me
           
You never thou

              
ght of anyone 


else
              
You just saw y

  
our pain
           
And now I cry 

              
in the middle 

        
of the night
         
For the same d

amn thing
