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 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.
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 tried my hardest just to forget everything. Because of you I don't know how to let anyone else in.
Because of you, I am afraid...
