Because Of You - Kelly ClarksonI 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 everyday 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 tried 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
