«THE NEW ITS'DAYS»

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...

Because of you
I never strayed 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 you 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 never strayed 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 damn thing...

Because of you
I never strayed 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
I am afraid....

Because of you....
Because of you...
