Because Of You

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 and Laugh every day 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 find it hard to trust Not only me, but everyone around me. Because of you, I am afraid.
