Because of You lyrics

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

    This song is just amazing, one of my favorites from her. I love nearly all of Kelly's songs, mostly because she is one of the few artists who actually has talent these days. Love ya Kelly!

    I love this song and it's verry emotional how the personne died. To tell you the truth the first time I heard the song I cried. Really think about the lyrics it's really sad. It also teaches us a lesson so I just want to say Thankyou Kelly!!! I love you!

    I was so shocked when I first watch this video, because it is the exactly my history in my childhood. I cried lots then this song gave me a tip to overcome the sadness even though I am still struggling with it. I wonder if Kelly has the similar background?
