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 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
