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 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.
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.
