Because Of You

Because Of You - Sweet Voices

I will not make

The same mistake 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

Everyday of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you

I'll 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 d**n 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
