Because of you
Song by
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 find it hard to trust
not only me
but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid@
