Because Of You by Kelly Clarkson

I will not (1)________ the same (2)________________ that you did
I (3)________ not let myself
Cause my (4)__________ so much misery
I (5)________ 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 (6)__________ stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the (7)________ side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone (8)____________ me
Because of you
I am afraid

I (9)________ my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in (10)________ eyes
I'm (11)____________ 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 (12)__________ too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to (13)________ on the safe (14)________ so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it (15)________ to trust not (16)________ me, but (17)________________ around me
Because of you
I am afraid

I watched you die
I (18)__________ you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should (19)________ (20)__________ better than to (21)________ on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw (22)________ pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you
I (23)__________ stray too far (24)________ the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe (25)________ 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 (26)______________ it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid

Because of you
Because of you
