Because Of You Lyrics By Kelly Clarkson

    oohooh ooh
    oohoohoohooh

    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 watched you die in your sleep
    i was so young you should have known better than to lean on me
    i was too young for you to lean on me
    you never thought of anyone else you just saw your pain
    you never saw me yeah yeah
    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 ah ah ah ah
    because of you mmh ooh
