Ooh-ooh ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 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 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 Because of you (Ah ah ah ah) Because of you mmh ooh
