I lose my way
Fm D# G#
And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry
Fm D# G#
Because you 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

I watched you die
Fm D#
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
Cm
I was so young
Fm D#
You should have known better than to lean on me
Cm Fm
You never thought of anyone else
D#
You just saw your pain
Cm Fm
And now I cry in the middle of the night
D#
For the same damn thing
[Chorus]

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

Because of you |
