It's my first song fic! I hate song fics... anyway... yeh... enjoy!
I dont own Fruits Basket and I dont own the song... Kelly Clarkson owns the song and Natsuki Takaya owns the Manga.

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

'Everything has happened so fast… Yuki, oh Yuki… why? Why him? Why did you let Akito push you that far?' Tohru whispered to herself, tears sliding down her torn and scarred face mixing with her blood. 'It shouldn't have happened!'

Because of you I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because 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

'Yuki killed himself because of you, Akito. You act as if, you act as if it didn't happen… you beat Kyo and me… and… I can't… I hate you… I hate…

I lose my way and it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry because I know that 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!

'I've lost everyone important… I want to die… It doesn't matter any more… Akito is right, it's my fault they're suffering… it's my fault Yuki's dead…' Tohru sobbed, "IT'S MY FAULT!" She screamed at the ground, crashing to her knees… "It's my fault!"

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

Tohru ran, ran harder than she ever had before… she was going to the Main house… she wanted it to end… and she knew who she was looking for to do it…

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

'I heard you, Yuki and I didn't help…'

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

'You couldn't think of us when you did it could you… about Shigure and Kyo… and… and…'

And now I cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing

Because of you I never stray to 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

My heart aches from the pain as I knock on the brass door, soaked through to the bone with blood and water. 'Please be here…'

Because of you I try my hardest just to forget everything

Hatori stared at the bloodied and broken girl with pained eyes, "Tohru…"

"Make me forget…" She moaned, "Make it go away… I want to forget everything… about the Sohma's… about you… starting from when I lived in that… that tent…"

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

She left my house happy even though she had come emotionally destroyed… my heart aches because I've lost someone so special… just like… Kana… Akito broke Tohru… like I feared that he would…

Because of you…
