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



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



























我不會
重蹈你的覆轍
我不會
讓我自己心煩憂苦
我不會潰退
像你一樣，跌的那麼重
我已學到教訓
不會讓情況惡化

*副歌*
因為你的緣故
我從不離人行道太遠
因為你的緣故
我學會注意安全才不會受傷
因為你的緣故
我只相信自己，很難信任別人
因為你，我擔心害怕

我迷失了方向
你很快地提醒我
我不能哭
因為會成為你眼中的弱者
我被逼著擠出
每一天裡的每個微笑、每個笑聲
我的心不可以碎
反正一開始它就不完全

**第二段副歌**
我看著你的生命褪去
我聽到你每晚在夢中哭喊
當時我那麼年輕
你應該知道不該太依賴我
你從不幫別人想
只在意自己的痛
現在我也在半夜哭喊
為了同樣的原因

*重複第一段副歌*
因為你的緣故
我從不離人行道太遠
因為你的緣故
我學會注意安全才不會受傷
因為你的緣故
我只相信自己，很難信任別人
因為你，我擔心害怕
