KELLY CLARKSON LYRICS

"Because Of You"

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

To Darky,
I relate to this song too. Thanks for sharing that with us.

 Songs always get to me. 
A song that gets to me is:


Spending My Time (Roxette)

What's the time? seems it's already morning.
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue.
The tv's on but the only thing showing is a picture of you.
Oh i get up and make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin.
I thank the lord above that you're not here to see me
in this shape I'm in.
Spending my time,
watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me too. I
Im spending my time.

I try to call but I don't know what to tell you.
I leave a kiss on your answering machine.
Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me
wake up from this dream?
Spending my time,
watching the days go by.
Feeling so small,
I stare at the wall,
hoping that you are missing me too.
I'm spending my time,
watching the sun go down.
I fall asleep to the sound of "tears of a clown,"
a prayer gone blind.
I'm spending my time.

My friends keep telling me: hey, life will go on,
time will make sure I'll get over you.
This silly game of love - you play, you win only to lose.

Left Outside Alone lyrics

Album - Anastasia
Lyrics - Left Outside Alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairy tale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe i need you babe(mum)


Left broken empty in despair
Wanna breath can't find air
Thought you were sent from up above
But you and me never had love
So much more I have to say
Help me find a way

And I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

Why do you play me like a game?
Always someone else to blame
Careless, helpless little man
Someday you might understand
There's not much more to say
But I hope you find a way

Still I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

And I wonder if you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
When it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
Just how it feels
To be left outside alone
To be left outside alone

All my life I've been waiting
For you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not okay I don't feel safe
I need to pray

I think lyrics and quotations can be so meaningful: bits of a whole, shared.

My sister always referred to our mother when she was being sarcastic as 'mother dearest' and when I re-read feminist poet Astra's 'Back you come mother dear' which turned up unexpectedly in a backstreet bookshop in Arkansas not long after her death it was a cleansing moment, I cried for all the people my mother and I had never gotten to be to each other, trying to forget the shadow-fear-person she had so often been to us.
