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

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

But everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over, Find a way to make the hurt go away, I'm never gonna watch you checkin' out of this place I'm not gonna lose you 'Cause the passion and the pain Are gonna keep you alive someday Everyone you know, is tryna

I'm gonna clean the house The drastic steps I've taken Are just an act of desperation I knew no one would miss me, so what the hell? I fought, and lied, I drank too much Hurt everyone I've ever touched And just how much I've hurt you, it's hard to tell

Your voice has stolen my soul, soul, soul I'm afraid of everyone, I'm afraid of everyone I don't have the drugs to sort it out, sort it out With my kid on my shoulders I try Not to hurt anybody I like But I don't have the drugs to sort Soul soul soul

This is heaven, yeah Everyday I know that this might hurt but I don't care Oh everybody feels alive Everyone they say that we don't work But I could swear this is heaven, yeah Oh you don't feel alive now When the room don't like us I'll be at your table

What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know Goes away in the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I hurt myself today

Woah, oo, oo Tell me something that I don't know And that's when you heard my calls I couldn't let you go Fell on my knees, turned my face to the rain Sold me my stubborn soul I could have been someone I hurt everyone Phoenix is rising, it's rising again

Everyone hurts the same Shame on me, shame on me Its not like its worth it Hey, I'm not tryin to be perfect Hey, I'm not tryin to be special 'Cause I ain't no angel Bridges that I burned And lovers that I hurt
