Live, love, laugh.

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've 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 tried 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.
