I will not make the same mistakes
I will not let myself cause my
I will not break the way you did,
I've learned the hard way
to never let it get that far
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
I learn to play on the safe side
Not only me but everyone around me
I am afraid I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even all to start with
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
I learn to play on the safe side
Because of you, I found it hard to trust
Because of you, I am afraid
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,
And now I cry in the middle of the night
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
learn to play on the safe side
Because of you, I turn my heart
just to forget everything
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you, I am afraid
