Because Of You Lyrics - 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 

Photos 

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 

Because of you 

Because of you
