Because of You

Because of You - The Cover Lovers

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

So 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 find it hard to trust not only me

But everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

Because of you

Mmmmmm Oooooh

Because of you

Mmmmmm Oooooh
