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 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 you know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday 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 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
Because of you
music is such a powerful channel. damn. i cant help but cry whenever i hear this song. yah maybe im too emotional. i dunno, its just me. when i first saw the music video of this, the lyrics and rhythm suddenly rushed unto my system and i started crying. all the pain, memories (good and bad) came in and i cant breathe. (do i sound a little exaggerated here? but its true) when family goes into the picture, i become weak. you can say all the damn bad things about me, curse me, kill me, make me tell all the wonderful stories i’ve been, evrything! EXCEPT anything about my family. i dont have one. NEXT! (i am gonna cry now)
hard to say, but i dont want to blame anybody. thats my fate. everything is planned by Him i’ll just wait for that damn plans.
maybe this song says it all. all the bitterness and pain in me that i dont want to shout aloud. yah that made me cry.
enough! yah this is ish. not a drama show.
people, dont you dare sing this song in front of me. i’ll cry if you did. but i’ll get over it. (i hope)
