Because Of You

Because Of You

Artist :: Kelly Clarkson

I will not  make the same

Mistakes that you did

I will not let my self 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 side walk

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’t cry

Because I know that’s weakness

In your eyes

I’m forced to fake a smile, a laugh

Every day 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 side walk

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 watch you die

I heard you cry

Every night  in your sleep

I was so young

You should have known                                                                                         

Better than to learn on me

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

And no 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’m afraid
