中英歌词：
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我不会重蹈你的覆辙
也不会让自己的心品尝苦涩
更不会像你一样崩溃一样堕落
我知道痛苦的滋味
所以绝不会轻易去体会
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因为你
我从不敢偏离人生的轨道
因为你
我学会用封闭内心来保护自己
因为你
我不仅难以相信自己
连周围的人我都怀疑
因为你
我如此畏惧
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我感到迷茫
就在你发现前那一刻
我却不能哭泣
因为在你眼中这就是脆弱
每一天 我都要伪装自己 强颜欢笑
我的心不可能再破碎了
因为它从来没有完整过
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因为你
我从不敢偏离人生的轨道
因为你
我学会用封闭内心来保护自己
因为你
我不仅难以相信自己
连周围的人我都怀疑
因为你
我如此畏惧
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我目睹你日渐憔悴的容颜
我听见你呜咽着彻夜难眠
我当时还小
你本该知道你不能依赖我
你从来不在乎别人
只能看见自己的痛苦
而现在我也同样地在夜晚哭泣
只因为你的悲剧在我身上重演
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因为你
我从不敢偏离人生的轨道
因为你
我学会用封闭内心来保护自己
因为你
我竭尽全力只想把过去的一切都忘记
因为你
我不知如何敞开心扉让别人驻进
因为你
我为我空虚的生活感到羞愧
因为你
我如此畏惧
Because of you
Because of you 因为你
只因为你

to play on the safe side: 呆在安全的地方玩耍，它所要表达的意思就是“采取一些（不必要的）措施来避免遇到可能出现的问题”，有些过度自我保护的含义，所以歌词中意译成了“封闭自己”。
