Because of You

How bad is it when Kelly Clarkson can sum up 33 years of your life?


I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will 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 to far from the side walk
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 its not too long before you point it out
I can not 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 to far from the side walk
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 then 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 am afraid
Because of you I never stray to far from the side walk
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 its empty
Because of you I am afraid
Because of you

"...I'm ashamed of my life because its empty"

I'll kick your ASS! Your life is NOT empty! I'm in it!

I really like that song. It's amazing how lyrics all or some of them can capture how we feel at precisely the right time in precisely the right words sometimes......
