because of u

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
You want me to watch you die
And heard you cry every night in your sleep
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 am afraid
Because of you..I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty
