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 its not too long before you point it out

i cannot cry because you know that's weakness in your eyes

I'm force to fake

A smile, a lough everyday of my life

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 at the middle of the night

for the same damn thing
