• Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You
• 專輯：美夢成真 Breakaway (澳洲版)
• X Music X
• 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 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
