Because Of You 因為你
歌詞
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 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 you 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 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 For 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 try 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
