Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You
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
IĄ¯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 donĄ¯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 itĄ¯s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know thatĄ¯s weakness in your eyes
IĄ¯m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh, every day of my life
My heart canĄ¯t possibly break
When it wasnĄ¯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 donĄ¯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 donĄ¯t get hurt
Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I donĄ¯t know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
IĄ¯m ashamed of my life because itĄ¯s empty
Because of you I am afraid
Because of you
