F             C            Dm           C
I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself
Dm                      C
Cause my heart so much misery

I will not break the way you did,

You fell so hard
F                      C
I've learned the hard way
        A#            C
To never let it get that far

       F
Because of you
           Dm                C
I never stray too far from the sidewalk

I am afraid

F       C
I lose my way
            Dm                C       F
And it's not too long before you point it out
              C
I cannot cry
Dm                  C                        F
Because you know that's weakness in your eyes
             C
I'm forced to fake
    Dm                  C                  F
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
                       C
My heart can't possibly break
              A#            C
When it wasn't even whole to start with

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep
              F
I was so young
                     Dm       G
You should have known better than to lean on me
                F     C
You never thought of anyone else
             G
You just saw your pain
           F          A#
And now I cry in the middle of the night
