Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt I am afraid I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me I will not make The same mistakes that you did I will not let myself

You'll never be my hometown girl There's nothing like her in this world I'm tired of the get around girls Ain't nothing like my hometown girl (Ooh, why?) I'm missing someone else This will never be the same But I blame it on myself Because I can't make

Who knows how long I've loved you You know I love you still Will I wait a lonely lifetime If you want me to-- I will. For if I ever saw you I didn't catch your name But it never really mattered I will always feel the same. Love you forever and forever

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt I am afraid I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me I will not make The same mistakes that you did I will not let myself

Explosions on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same I've loved and I've lost You trembled like you'd seen a ghost And I gave in I lack the things you need the most You said where have

It'll never be the same No, it'll never be the same Cause it's over And there's no one to blame We get closer and closer again But we're falling apart I'm losing, you're losing a friend It's always over before we start You're asking for love
