Working my way down

I am a list writer, organizer, type A woman. I have to say that the month of October's chore list was starting to look scary there for a moment, even for me!
I'm happy to announce that we survived the majority of the monster load of tasks that had to be accomplished thus far.
1) Bought Halloween costumes
2) Made treats and bags for Boy Scouts Halloween Party
3) Successfully completed my last class and finals
4) Bought truckloads of Halloween decorations for Olivia's 1st birthday party
5) Decorated the house for Halloween and put up half the party decor so far
6) Bought girls matching outfits for pictures (that wasn't easy)
7) Had pictures taken in pretty matching outfits and princess costumes. They turned out absolutely beautiful.
8) Sam's Club visit, bought all food for party so far and household items
9) Made it to build a bear for Olivia's Birthday Bear! And Gianna built one too.
10) Tracked down the family's cake baker and ordered cake and cupcakes for party
11) Made treat bags for Olivia's party
12) Got the kids to Triple B to pick apples and pumpkins
13) Made it back from Disney World alive
14) Planted mums on all of our families graves (one of the tasks I dislike)
15) Planned the majority of the birthday party

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 will 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
Every day of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you
I will 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 will 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 tried 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
Because of you
