Текст Because of You — Ben E. King

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 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 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 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
