Because of You - 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 learnt the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you
I never strayed too far from the sidewalks
Because of you
I learnt to play on the safe side so i won'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 strayed too far from the sidewalks
Because of you
I've learnt 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 strayed too far from the sidewalks
Because of you
I've learnt 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...

such a beautiful song. my singing never fails to massacre it :p
any spelling mistakes, pls let me know!
I tend to have strong violent reactions towards spelling mistakes.
