[Verse 1]
The only one who took you in
The only one who held your hand
Defended you against the others
Had your back on everything
Never let you down
You turned around, betrayed your only brother

[Pre-Chorus]
Forgetting me
You took things in your hands and left me out
After we'd been through so much, how could you let me down?

[Chorus]
I didn't know, I didn't know
I couldn't see, I couldn't see
Never thought you'd forget me
Couldn't believe, couldn't believe
How you deceived, you deceived
I never thought you'd do that to me

[Verse 2]
I will never be like you
I'll never do the things you do
Selfish and lonely, what's your problem?
Letting go of you and this
Is harder than I thought, but I will not be poisoned by your actions

[Pre-Chorus]
Forgetting me
You took things in your hands and left me out
After we'd been through so much, how could you let me down?

[Chorus]
I didn't know, I didn't know
I couldn't see, I couldn't see
Never thought you'd forget me
Couldn't believe, couldn't believe
How you deceived, you deceived
I never thought you'd do that to me

[Outro]
Forgetting me
You took things in your hands and left me out
After we'd been through so much, how could you let me down?
Down, you let me down

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
