中文歌詞
：我不會重蹈你的覆轍，也不會讓自己的心品嘗苦澀，更不會像你一樣崩潰。我知道痛苦的滋味，卻絕不會輕易去體會。因為你，人生的軌道我從不敢偏離，因為你，我學會用封閉內心來保護自己，因為你，我不僅難以相信自己，連周圍的人我都懷疑。因為你……
我聽之我見：Kelly
Clarkson一夜成名的故事，去年也發生在了中國。跟她的風格和實力最為相似的張靚穎，也已經走出辛酸的往事，用自己的聲音講述自己的感情和野心。Kelly那具有穿透力的聲音，自然而然的讓人想到另一個酷愛唱歌的女孩華麗的海豚音。她們都擁有上天恩賜好嗓子、好運氣和清醒的頭腦。用自己的方式走自己的路，這樣的成功令人艷羨……
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
