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
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 *im-hope
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain *im-worried-bout-you
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing *i-hate-this-so-much
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk *yes-i'll-try
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt *i-wish
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything *always...but-i-cant
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 -
