BECUZ OF U ------- 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 youI 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 breakWhen it wasn’t even whole to start with

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk Because of youI 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 youI 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
