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
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
Every day 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 pain

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 find it hard to trust
Not only me,
But everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid

Athena looks up upon the door opening and immediately rushes to take the headset off her head and toss it to the side, jumping onto the couch and getting into a casual position as she opened a book, pretending like she wasn't doing anything minutes prior, "Oh, hey, Michael."

"Is that a new song?"

"Huh? What song? What are you talking about?" Athena rushes out, tucking her hair behind her ear and readjusting in her spot, "There's no song!"
