Behind These Hazel Eyes -- Kelly Clarkson

Seems like just yesterday You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe No, I can't sleep I'm barely hanging on

(**)    Here I am, once again  I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright For once in my life
Now all that's left of me Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside 'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep I'm barely hangin' on

(**)                                  

Swallow me then spit me out  For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore. anymore...
