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 everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

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 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


---------------------------------------------

For all of the times that I tried for your smile

For making you think that I was worth the while

So your love love love love love would be mine

For sending you flowers and holding your hand

That no one was there to take a stand

But then love love love made us blind

And I’m so sorry that I hurt you

Sorry that I fell through

Sorry I was falling in love with you

I’m sorry that it came true but sorry doesn’t turn back time

For all that I have done to you

I wish that I could make it right

So sorry that I loved you

Sorry that I needed you

Sorry that I held you tight

And I’m so sorry for…

Making you love me and saying goodbye

For being the one that taught you how to cry

It was love love love and it passed us by

For giving you every thing that you dreamed

For taking it back when I fled the scene

Sorry love, for wasting your time

And I’m so sorry that I hurt you

Sorry that I fell through

Sorry I was falling in love with you

I’m sorry that it came true but sorry doesn’t turn back time

For all that I have done to you

I wish that I could make it right

So sorry that I loved you

Sorry that I needed you

Sorry that I held you tight

An apology now after all of this time

Won’t make any difference tonight

But I’m hoping “im sorry” will open your mind

To love love love love in your life
