because of you (vh1) - Kelly Clarkson
Ooh ooh
Ooh
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 hardest just not only me
But everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
