Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson
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 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
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
Because of you
