Because Of You

While listening to Kelly Clarkson's Because of You I thought about all the things that Marissa has been through . I thought this would be a perfect song to express her feelings

about the different events in her life.

Marissa woke up from a nightmare it was 2 o' clock tears rolling down her face. She decided to go down stairs and get a drink, half way down the stairs images of Trey flashed in front of her. After she reached the bottom of the stairs she made her way to the

Kitchen. She turned on the lights and so her cd player on the kitchen table. She laughed at herself for leaving it their, she picked it up and pressed play.

I will not make the same

Mistakes that you did.

I will not let myself cause my

heart so much misery.

( Mom you don't know what you did to me how you hurt, you broke my heart. Do you really love your family?)

I will not break the way you did

You fell so hard, I learned the hard way,

To never let it get that far

( Dad you destroyed your life, you left leaving a void I can never fill one that will always be empty.)

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

I lose my way

And its not too long

Before you point it

Out I cannot cry

Because I know that's weakness in

( Luke I cried every night thinking about what you did, and who we were. Did you think you could just leave me with nothing left to hold on to.)

Your eyes I'm forced to

Take a smile. A laugh

Every day of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to

Start with

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 cry

Ever night in your sleep

I was so young

You should have know better then

To lean on me

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

And now I cry

In the middle night

Over the same damn thing

( So now, I lay here a night crying over the past, to scared to look into the future. Never thought I'd be here an now my life is lifeless as a doll.,)

Because of you

I never stray too far from

The sidewalk

Because of you

I learned play on the safe side

So I don't get hurt

Because of you

I tried my hardest just to forget everything

Because of you

I 'm ashamed of my life because it's empty

Because of you

I am afraid

Because of you
