And you know I have never experienced abuse and I hope I never do. But I have seen it on YouTube people that I have experienced situations that aren’t good
And you know even if their life isn’t good you know and it’s such a lonely place that you feel nobody cares
There is always somebody that cares and life can be great life can be full positivity and kindness loving compassion. Is just how you choose to live it
You can live life being kind to people and laughing and cracking funny jokes and using funny statements to get you by in life
Or you can live in misery and be miserable and be a nasty person you know. Life is the individual person chooses to live their life
Nobody else made them live that way no matter how bad the situation was in their past. You know nobody’s forcing and telling you how to live in the future it’s all up to you
It’s your choice and only you can choose how you live in the future.

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 (oh)
Because of you (mm, oh)

@@ghazalysi6574 that is terribly destructive to your self esteem. Hard to reach out and seek the people who will love you after that - that is the point of the song. Do you mind me asking how old you are?
@ghazalysi6574
@@helenebennie3961 nobody likes me tbh...even my friends, I'm always the last priority to them which I don't blame them because when my mom can say such terrible stuff to me how can I blame strangers...the point of this song for me is to never have a child and never make someone live through this hell, I mean this world... and I'm 23 btw I just graduated from university

I was a ‘daddy’s girl’, growing up in the 60’s-70’s. Everytime my mom and dad had a fight, I saw my dad getting his keys and I would run outside and climb in the car ahead of my dad. He’d get in, look at me, and say ‘as long as you’re quiet’ and allow me to ride along, where he’d go for a coffee and get me a chocolate milk. I saw him simmer down, become calm, and after a bit we’d go home.
My mom, God Bless her in her pain, would snap at me, saying I was ‘taking sides’.
I was able to tell her, some years later before she passed (rather suddenly) from pancreatic cancer:
Mom. I wasn’t taking dad’s side. I just wanted to be with him to make sure HE CAME HOME.
This song encapsulates so many memories, so much pain…
