[D] [G] [Bm]
[Em]
[G] I will not [Bm] make the [E] same mistakes that you [D] did.
I [G] will not [Bm] let myself [E] cause my heart so much misery.
[D]
[G] I will not [Bm] break the [Em] way you did, you fell so [D] hard.
[G] I've learned the hard [Bm] way [Em] to never let it get that [D] far.
Because [Em] of you I never [C] strayed too far from the [D] sidebar.
Because of [Em] you I learned to play on [C] the safe side so I [D] don't get hurt.
[B] Because of [Am] you I find it hard to [G] trust not only [D] me but everyone [B] around me.
Because of [C] you I am
[D] afraid.
[G] I lose my [Bm] way [Em] and it's not too long before you [D] point [G] it out.
I cannot cry [Em] because I know that weakness in your [G] eyes.
I'm forced to [Bm] fake a [Em] smile, a laugh everyday of [G] my life.
My heart can't possibly break when it [Em] wasn't even whole to [D] start with.

Because [C] of you I am [D] afraid.
I watched [Bm] you die, I heard you [Em] cry every night in [D] your sleep.
I was [Bm] so young you should have [Em] known better than to [G] lean on me.
[D] You never
[Bm] thought of anyone [Em] else, you just saw your [D] pain.
And [Bm] [Em]
now I'm at stake.
