Intro
Em Cadd9 D x2
Verse 1
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...
Chorus
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...
Verse 2
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...
Chorus
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...
Bridge
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...
**EITHER A CAPELLA OR ONE STRUM PER CHORD**
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
Chorus
Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything,
becasue 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...
*Strum once per chord*
Because of you....
...because of you......
