Because of You (NapsterLive) Songtext
von Kelly Clarkson

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, 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 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 find it hard to trust
Not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you, I am afraid
