i will n0t make the same mistakes that y0u did
i wll n0t let myself
cause my heaRt s0 much misery
i wll n0t bReak the way y0u did,

t0 never let it get that far

Because 0f y0u
i neveR stRay t00 faR fr0m the sidewak
Because 0f y0u
leaRned t0 play 0n the safe side s0
i d0n't get huRt
Because 0f y0u
i find t haRd t0 tRust n0t 0ny me, but
eveRy0ne aR0und me
Because 0f y0u

And it's n0t t00 l0ng bef0Re y0u p0int

Because i kn0w that's weakness in
y0uR eyes
i'm f0rced t0 fake
A smile, a laugh eveRyday 0f my llfe
My heaRt can't p0ssbly bReak
When it wasn't even wh0le t0 staRt wth

Because 0f y0u
i neveR stRay t00 faR fR0m the sidewak
Because 0f y0u

And n0w i cRy in the middle 0f the night
For the same damn things!

Because 0f y0u
i neveR stRay t00 faR fR0m the sidewak

because it's empty
Because 0f y0u
