Because of you

Because Of You

(Written by Kelly Clarkson/David Hodges/Ben Moody)



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

I watched you die

I heard you cry ever
