中文歌词
：我不会重蹈你的覆辙，也不会让自己的心品尝苦涩，更不会像你一样崩溃。我知道痛苦的滋味，却绝不会轻易去体会。因为你，人生的轨道我从不敢偏离，因为你，我学会用封闭内心来保护自己，因为你，我不仅难以相信自己，连周围的人我都怀疑。因为你……
我听之我见：Kelly
Clarkson一夜成名的故事，去年也发生在了中国。跟她的风格和实力最为相似的张靓颖，也已经走出辛酸的往事，用自己的声音讲述自己的感情和野心。Kelly那具有穿透力的声音，自然而然的让人想到另一个酷爱唱歌的女孩华丽的海豚音。她们都拥有上天恩赐好嗓子、好运气和清醒的头脑。用自己的方式走自己的路，这样的成功令人艳羡……
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
