* 4-bar intro with ad-libs
* Verse 1 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.
* Chorus 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.
* Verse 2 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 every day of my life. My heart can't possibly break When it wasn't even whole to start with.
* Repeat chorus
* Bridge 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.
* Chorus 2 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 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. Because of you. ******************************************** Time * 3:44 Length * 67 bars Tempo * 70 BPM Key * F minor, G minor at bar 54
