Another tune that strikes a little too close to home

BECAUSE OF YOU

(Kelly Clarkson)

Corresponding Video

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 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 watched you die...In your sleep)

I was so young

You should have known better than to lean on me

(I was too young, too - Too little)

You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain

(You never - thought of me)

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 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
Because of you
