Because Of You   KellyClarkson

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery¹
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 stray² 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 fake³
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 damn⁴ 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

Because of you
Because of you

因为你　凯莉-克莱森

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 我如此畏惧

我迷失了 就在你发现前那一刻
我不能哭泣 因为在你眼中这就是脆弱
每一天 我伪装的笑容都写满逼迫
我的心不可能再破碎了 因为她已经毁在了最初的那刻

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 连周围的人我会怀疑
因为你 我如此畏惧

我目睹你日渐憔悴的容颜 我听见你呜咽着彻夜难眠
我还这么小 你怎能依靠在我的双肩
你什么也看不见 除了你自己的痛苦 而现在我也哭泣
在同样的夜晚 只因为你的悲剧在我身上重演

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 我用尽全力去把一切都忘记
因为你 我不懂什么叫与人心有灵犀
因为你 我的生命是一片可耻的空虚
因为你 我如此畏惧

因为你 只因为你…

Note

Stray too far from 远离；stray from有时候也可以作“走失”，例如：stray from one's group 离群走散。
I watched you die这里的die不是指“死去”，而是借die这个词来突出主人公的“憔悴”和“萎靡”
Damn 在英语中，人们常常用它来发泄心中的不满。
