I will not make the same mistakes that you did,
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 everyday 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 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 te bpain
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 try 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
Because of you

Une nuk do te bej te njejtat gabime qe i bere ti
Nuk do ta lejoj veten
Sepse zemra ime ka shume dhimbje..
Une nuk do ta shkepus
Rrugen qe ti e shkepute
Dhe u ndieve shum keq
E kam mesuar rrugen e veshtire
Qe kurre te mos shkoje shum larg..

Per shkak tendin
Une kurr nuk kam humbur shum larg nga rruga e ecjes
Per shkak tendin
Une kam mesuar te luaj ne nje vend te sigurt
Ku nuk do te lendohem
Per Shkakun tend
E gjeta veshtire t'i besoj jo vetem vetes por edhe te gjithe njerezve qe me rrethojne
