Kelly Clarkson - Because of You(Live)

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 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
