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'll 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 can not cry because I know that's weakness in your eyes.
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh, everyday of my life.
My heart can't possibly b r e a k, when it wasn't even whole to start with.
Because of you, I'll 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.
