Okay. Here's another Kelly Clarkson song entitled "Because of You" that I wrote a piece of fiction to cover it. I don't think it is good as my last piece but I wrote it 1st and 2nd period today in school. Enjoy and comment in the Songfic thread of the Feedback...>> http://www.annemccaffreyfans.org/forum/showthread.php?p=250923#post250923<<

I will not make
The same mistakes that you did.
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery.
She had been mine and yours equally, in love, in pride, and in life. Yet, I watched you fall when she died as I had to stand on my own two feet, quivering under the pressure that no little girl should ever go through. I loved her and I love you…but love is a two way street. Alas, one side has been blocked by the storms of our lives.
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.
I stared helplessly from the corner of a world so large as to be incomprehensible as you fell and crumbled. I could do nothing for you, but you could have stayed together for me. You taught me with one little fall more than a lifetime of heartache could bring. You made me grow up before it was time and this is what it has led to…this is your little girl. Daddy’s little girl.
I cannot 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
My tears have dried though my eyes are open and bleeding to the misery of our hearts. I cannot show you that your little girl is hurt; I have to hide my weakness in pain and it’s all for you. I’ll be your little girl, your pride, your world and never let my feelings show…just for you.
I cannot lose heart in the goodness of the world, but if I do, I will never break because of you. My heart longs for memories of good and loving people but all I find is blackness in a void my mother left for you to rip into.
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
I can still hear you sobbing on the couch through all those late night movies as I curled up in my sheltering corner of the house. I was far too young to grasp what this could have meant, but you expected it of me. I saw her picture in your hand and then I saw mine.
You did not think of what you were doing to me, you just felt the pain of death still clinging to your every breathe. I could see it in your eyes and I had to stay strong just for you. I had to endure because I am your little girl.
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
Because of you I am afraid
My tears fall when you aren’t around and I cry myself to sleep. I go to school and everyone sees the dark child, feeling pity for her every movement. All this is your fault, you caused this pain in me. I hate the mocking, but, Daddy, I still love you…because I am afraid.
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
The tears still try to form but I’m all cried out. I want to forget it all but it can’t live without this pain anymore. I don’t know how to let another soul into mine because of you. I’m ashamed of what I have become and it’s all because of you. Merely because of you, I am afraid.
My mind if full of doubt and hate; I want it and my life to just fade away but…
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 have to stay by you all the time, and live the life you need me to. I have to play where I cannot hurt anymore. I cannot trust another person for the rest of my life and it makes me so afraid. All this just
Because of you…
I see the pain in their eyes and know that it’s my time to shine. I see the hurt that we have gone through in that broken mirror and I know it’s time to mend the glass. I see the love that no one else has shown for all of my life. I see it now and it had nothing to do with you. Because I was afraid, I was blind. Because of you, I can now see. Because of you, I live today.
Because of you…
