G#5           C5        F5                       Eb5   
  I will not make the same mistakes that you did   
G#5           C5     
  I will not let myself   
F5                                 Eb5   
Cause my heart so much misery   
G#5           C5        F5   
  I will not break the way you did,   
           Eb5   
You fell so hard   
G#5                  C5            
  I've learned the hard way   
     F5                  Eb5    
To never let it get that far   
   
   
             F5         
Because of you   
            C#5                   Eb5     
I never stray too far from the sidewalk   
    Eb5     F5        
Because of you   
                          C#5             Eb5            C5      
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt   
                

            C#5        
Because of you   
                      G#5       Eb5                   C5                        
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me   
             C#5        
Because of you   
         Eb5   
I am afraid   
   
   
G#5          C5   
  I lose my way   
          F5                      Eb5   
And it's not too long before you point it out   
G#5         C5   
  I cannot cry   
      F5                           Eb5   
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes   
G#5              C5   
  I'm forced to fake   
    F5                  Eb5           G#5   
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life   
                C5   
My heart can't possibly break   
         F5                   Eb5  
When it wasn't even whole to start with

I am afraid

I watched you die   
             F5                   Eb5  
I heard you cry every night in your sleep   
          C5   
I was so young   
                     F5                  Eb5  
You should have known better than to lean on me   
           C5                F5   
You never thought of anyone else   
                Eb5  
You just saw your pain   
          C5                         F5         
And now I cry in the middle of the night   
          C#5       Eb5       
For the same damn thing
