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

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

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

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 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
