Because of You Lyrics - Kelly Clarkson

1 Ooh

2 Ooh

3 I will not make the same mistakes that you did

4 I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery

5 I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard

6 I've learned the hard way to never let it get that far

7 Because of you

8 I never stray too far from the sidewalk

9 Because of you

10 I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

11 Because of you

12 I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

13 Because of you

14 I am afraid

15 I lose my way and it's not too long before you point it out

16 I cannot cry because I know that's weakness in your eyes

17 I'm forced to fake a smile, a laugh, every day of my life

18 My heart can't possibly break when it wasn't even whole to start with

19 Because of you

20 I never stray too far from the sidewalk

21 Because of you

22 I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

23 Because of you

24 I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

25 Because of you

26 I am afraid

27 I watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep

28 I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me

29 You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain

30 And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing

31 Because of you

32 I never stray too far from the sidewalk

33 Because of you

34 I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

35 Because of you

36 I tried my hardest just to forget everything

37 Because of you

38 I don't know how to let anyone else in

39 Because of you

40 I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty

41 Because of you

42 I am afraid

43 Because of you

44 Because of you
