Let's me know that you need me.

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.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 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 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 
Because of you
