Because of You Songtext
von David Hodges

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
It′s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know it's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart can′t possibly break
When it wasn′t even whole to start with


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 watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was too young, you should′ve 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
Mmm, because of you
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
I am afraid
Because of you
Because of you
