Patrick Ceralde's video: Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You - Patrick Ceralde

Originally by Kelly Clarkson Just wanted to make a quick singing video to let you all know that I am still alive. Haha. I don't really have time to make videos because of school and other things, so this will have to do for now. Let me know what you think, though! Yeah, I know; I was a little off sometimes. Big deal. I just got done recovering from a bad throat, so I didn't have as much range as I normally do. Also, there was a bit of a volume problem. I sing softly when I sing low, and I tried my best to pick up some of the volume during the verses, but it didn't work out as well as I intended. Oh, toward the end of the video, the audio / video started to become a little off. Oh well, it's not that evident. Haha. To be honest, I don't know where I got my instrumental from. I found it in my hard drive in a random folder, and just decided to use it. If you are the owner of this instrumental, please let me know and I will credit you. (: Thanks to Tiffany for helping me record. (: Also, a big thank you to SLAM, and especially Mr. Hargrave for letting me use the sound room. Please keep it clean in the comments. Constructive criticism is always accepted, but rude, unhelpful comments are a waste of your time, and most importantly mine. I just turned sixteen and I sing, play guitar and piano for fun.

Thank you! :D 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 Every day 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 will 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 tried 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
