Because of You (The Voice Performance) - Amy Whitcomb

[00:15.63]I will not make the same mistakes that you did
[00:21.15]I will not let myself
[00:25.20]Cause my heart so much misery
[00:29.20]I will not break the way you did,
[00:33.76]You fell so hard
[00:36.00]I've learned the hard way
[00:38.87]To never let it get that far
[00:42.95]Because of you
[00:44.64]I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[00:49.63]Because of you
[00:51.32]I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
[00:56.62]Because of you
[00:58.11]I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
[01:03.73]Because of you
[01:06.85]I am afraid
[01:12.15]I lose my way
[01:14.53]And it's not too long before you point it out
[01:18.96]I cannot cry
[01:21.39]Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
[01:25.82]I'm forced to fake
[01:28.32]A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
[01:32.81]My heart can't possibly break
[01:35.31]When it wasn't even whole to start with
[01:39.74]Because of you
[01:41.05]I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[01:46.04]Because of you
[01:47.97]I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
[01:53.09]Because of you
[01:54.65]I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
[02:00.37]Because of you
[02:03.36]I am afraid
[02:06.80]I watched you die
[02:08.74]I heard you cry every night in your sleep
[02:13.66]I was so young
[02:15.41]You should have known better than to lean on me
[02:20.59]You never thought of anyone else
[02:24.21]You just saw your pain
[02:27.51]And now I cry in the middle of the night
[02:31.59]For the same damn thing
[02:37.75]Because of you
[02:39.49]I never stray too far from the sidewalk
[02:44.48]Because of you
[02:46.29]I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
[02:51.35]Because of you
[02:53.04]I try my hardest just to forget everything
[02:58.40]Because of you
[02:59.84]I don't know how to let anyone else in
[03:05.51]Because of you
[03:07.13]I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
[03:12.01]Because of you
[03:14.22]I am afraid
[03:19.46]Because of you
[03:26.08]Because of you
