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
I learned the hard way to never let it get that far
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
I learned to play on the safe side
Not only me but everyone around me
And it@s not too long before you point it out
Because I know that@s weakness in your eyes
I@m forced to fake a smile a laugh
My heart can@t possibly break
When it wasn@t even whole to start with
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
I learned to play on the safe side
Not only me but everyone around me
Every night in your sleep
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
In the middle of the night
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
I learned to play on the safe side so I don@t get hurt
I tried my hardest just to forget everything
I don@t know how to let anyone else in
I@m ashamed of my life because it@s empty
