Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You - 2004



I will not make
The same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
'Cause my heart is 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

Refrain:
Because of you
I never stray to far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the save 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 loose my way
And it's not to long before you point it out
I can not 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 hole to start with

Refrain

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 to far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the save 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
