…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 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 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…
