elly Clarkson --Because of You
I will not make the same mistake that yo
u did
I will not let myself cause my heart so
much misery
I will not break the way you did, you fe
ll so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let
it get that far
Because of you, I never stray too far fr
om 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 bef
ore you point out
I can not cry, because you know that's w
eakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake, a smile, a laugh eve
ryday of my life
My heart can't possibly break, when it w
asn't even whole to start with
Because of you, I never stray too far fr
om 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 be
tter then to learn on me
You never thought of anyone else, you ju
st 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 fr
om the sidewalk
Because of you, I learned to play on the
safe 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 b
ecause it's empty
Because of you, I an afraid
Because of you
Because of you
