[Verse 1]
Shaking your head like it's all wrong
Before you're here, you're already gone
And even with the light all around you
You're all alone in the dark

[Chorus]
You're breaking your own heart
Taking it too far down a lonely road
You say you just want love
But when it's close enough, you just let it go
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start
Breaking your own heart

[Verse 2]
Too many tears, too many falls
It's easier here behind these walls
But you don't have to walk in the shadows
Where life is so hard

[Chorus]
You're breaking your own heart
Taking it too far down a lonely road
You say you just want love
But when it's close enough, you just let it go
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start
Breaking your own heart
You're breaking your own heart

[Bridge]
It's not too late, I'm still right here
If only you'd let go of your fears

[Chorus]
You're breaking your own heart
Taking your own heart down a lonely road (Down a lonely road)
You say you just want love
But when it's close enough, you just let it go (You just let it go, you just let it go)
The very thing you've been the most afraid of
You've been doing it from the start
Breaking your own heart

[Outro]
You're breaking your own heart

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.
