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 you 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

You are my first term of the Maclaurin Series,
that f(0) that stands alone.
You are zero to me because you arent a coefficient of X
and only terms with Xs are counted in my life.
I acknowledge your existence, just that now you are the insignificant one.
