  I will not m

/         
ake the same m

              
istakes that y

      
ou did,
          
I will not let

#           
 myself cause 

              
my heart so mu

         
ch misery.
            
  I will not b

reak the way y

              
ou did, you fe

      
ll so hard,
             
  I've learned

          
 the hard way 

            
to never let i

           
t get that far

...

[Chorus]
            
Because of you

            
 I never stray

           
 too far from 

     
the sidewalk,
            
Because of you

              
 I learned to 

            
play on the sa

           
fe side so I d

        
on't get hurt,
           
Because of you

            
 I find it har

             
d to trust not

             
 only me, but 

         
everyone aroun

d me,
           
Because of you

       
, I am afraid.

[Verse 2]
           
  I lose my wa

          
y, and it's no

              
t too long bef

          
ore you point 

     
it out,
          
I cannot cry, 

            
because I know

              
 that's weakne

         
ss in your eye

s;
              
I'm forced to 

        
fake, a smile,

              
 a laugh, ever

        
y day of my li

fe.
              
My heart can't

          
 possibly brea

            
k, when it was

              
n't even whole

     
 to start with

...

[Chorus]
            
Because of you

         
 I never stray

              
 too far from 

    
the sidewalk,
            
because of you

              
 I learned to 

            
play on the sa

          
fe side so I d

on't get hurt,
           
because of you

            
 I find it har

             
d to trust not

             
 only me, but 

         
everyone aroun

d me,
           
Because of you

       
, I am afraid.

..

[Bridge]
              
I watched you 

            
die, I heard y

            
ou cry every n

         
ight in your s

leep...
            
I was so young

              
, you should h

            
ave known bett

           
er than to lea

n on me.
            
You never thou

              
ght of anyone 

            
else, you just

      
 saw your pain

,
            
and now I cry 

              
in the middle 

            
of the night, 

        
for the same d

amn thing...
