[06:22.00]I will not make
[06:22.00]The same mistakes that you did
[06:22.00]I will not let myself
[06:22.00]'Cause my heart so much misery
[06:22.00]I will not break
[06:22.00]The way you did, you fell so hard
[06:22.00]I've learned the hard way
[06:22.00]To never let it get that far
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I learned to play on the safe side
[06:22.00]So I don't get hurt
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I find it hard to trust
[06:22.00]Not only me, but everyone around me
[06:22.00]Because of you, I am afraid
[06:22.00]I lose my way
[06:22.00]And it's not too long before you point it out
[06:22.00]I cannot cry
[06:22.00]Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
[06:22.00]I'm forced to fake
[06:22.00]A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
[06:22.00]My heart can't possibly break
[06:22.00]When it wasn't even whole to start with
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I learned to play on the safe side
[06:22.00]So I don't get hurt
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I find it hard to trust
[06:22.00]Not only me, but everyone around me
[06:22.00]Because of you, I am afraid
[06:22.00]I watched you die, I heard you cry
[06:22.00]Every night in your sleep
[06:22.00]I was so young, you should have known
[06:22.00]Better than to lean on me
[06:22.00]You never thought of anyone else
[06:22.00]You just saw your pain
[06:22.00]And now I cry, in the middle of the night, for the same damn thing
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I tried my hardest just to forget everything
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I don't know how to let anyone else in
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
[06:22.00]Because of you, I am afraid
[06:22.00]Because of you
[06:22.00]Because of you
