Mind Map

A song sung by Kelly Clarkson

recorded in the album 'Breakaway'

Because Of You 


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 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 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 

Because of you
