Текст песни Because of You - Kelly Clarkson

Ooh, ooh
Ooh

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 (I watched you die)
Every night in your sleep (in your sleep)
I was so young, you should have known (I was too young)
Better than to lean on me (for you to lean on me)
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain (you never saw me)
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, oh, oh
Because of you, ooh, ooh
