Because Of You

Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson Woo woo Woo woo 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 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 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 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
