Because Of You Song Lyrics by Kelly Clarkson
I will not make the same mistakes that you didI will not let myself ’cause my heart so much miseryI will not break the way you didYou fell so hardI’ve learned the hard way, to never let it get that far
Because of youI never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of youI learned to play on the safe side, so I don’t get hurtBecause of youI find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around meBecause of youI am afraid
I lose my wayAnd it’s not too long before you point it outI cannot cryBecause I know that’s weakness in your eyesI’m forced to fake a smile, a laughEvery day of my lifeMy heart can’t possibly breakWhen it wasn’t even whole to start with
Because of youI never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of youI learned to play on the safe side, so I don’t get hurtBecause of youI find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around meBecause of youI am afraid
I watched you die (I watched you die)I heard you cryEvery night in your sleepI was so young (and you’re so young)You should have known better (I was too young for you)Than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone elseYou just saw your pain (you never saw me)And now I cryIn the middle of the nightFor the same damn thing
Because of youI never stray too far from the sidewalkBecause of youI learned to play on the safe side so I don’t get hurtBecause of youI find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around meBecause of youI am afraid
Because of youBecause of you
