Track Listing

1. 1. BreakawayListen

   Grew up in a small town
   And when the rain would fall down
   I'd just stare out my window
   Dreamin' of what could be
   And if I'd end up happy
   I would pray
   
   Trying hard to reach out
   But, when I tried to speak out
   Felt like no one could hear me
   Wanted to belong here
   But something felt so wrong here
   So I'd pray
   I could break away
   
   I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
   I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
   And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
   And break away
   Out of the darkness and into the sun
   But, I won't forget all the ones that I love
   I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
   And break away
   
   Wanna feel the warm breeze
   Sleep under a palm tree
   Feel the rush of the ocean
   Get onboard a fast train
   Travel on a jetplane, far away
   And break away
   
   I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
   I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
   And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
   And break away
   Out of the darkness and into the sun
   I won't forget all the ones that I love
   I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
   And break away
   
   Buildings with a hundred floors
   Swinging round revolving doors
   Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
   But, gotta keep moving on, moving on
   Fly away, break away
   
   I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
   Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye, gotta
   Take a risk, take a chance, make a change
   And break away
   Out of the darkness and into the sun
   But, I won't forget the place I come from
   I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
   And break away

3. 3. Behind These Hazel EyesListen

   Written By: Kelly Clarkson/Gottwalld, Lukasz/Sandberg, Martin
   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
   
   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
   
   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...
   
   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
   
   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
   

4. 4. Because of YouListen

   Written By: Kelly Clarkson/David Hodges/Ben Moody
   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
   
   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
   Because of you
   Because of you I am afraid
   
   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
   

5. 5. GoneListen

   Written By: Kara DioGuardi/John Shanks
   What you see's not what you get
   With you there's just no measurement
   No way to tell what's real from what isn't there
   
   Your eyes they sparkled
   That's all changed into lies that drop like acid rain
   You washed away the best of me
   You don't care
   You know you did it
   
   I'm gone
   To find someone to live for in this world
   There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
   Just a bridge that I gotta burn
   You are wrong
   If you think you can walk right through my door
   That is just so you
   Coming back when I've finally moved on
   I'm already gone
   
   Sometimes shattered
   Never open
   Nothing matters
   When you're broken
   That was me whenever I was with you
   
   Always ending, always over
   Back and forth, up and down, like a roller coaster
   I am breaking that habit today
   You know you did it
   
   There is nothing you can say
   Sorry doesn't cut it babe
   Take the hit and walk away
   Cause I'm gone
   
   Doesn't matter what you do
   It's what you did that's hurting you
   All I needed was the truth
   Now I'm gone
   
   What you see's not what you get
   

6. 6. AddictedListen

   Written By: Kelly Clarkson/David Hodges/Ben Moody
   It’s like you’re a drug
   It’s like you’re a demon I can’t face down
   It’s like I’m stuck
   It’s like I’m running from you all the time
   And I know I let
   You have all the power
   It’s like the only company I seek
   Is misery all around
   
   It’s like you’re a leach
   Sucking the life from me
   It’s like I can’t breathe
   Without you inside of me
   And I know I let you
   Have all the power
   And I realize I’m never gonna
   Quit you over time
   
   It’s like I can’t breathe
   It’s like I can’t see anything
   Nothing but you
   I’m addicted to you
   It’s like I can’t think
   Without you interrupting me
   In my thoughts
   In my dreams
   You’ve taken over me
   It’s like I’m not me
   It’s like I’m not me
   
   It’s like I’m lost
   It’s like I’m giving up slowly
   It’s like you’re a ghost
   That’s haunting me
   Leave me alone
   And I know these voices in
   My head are mine alone
   And I know I’ll never change my ways
   If I don’t give you up now
   
   I’m hooked on you
   I need a fix, I can’t take it
   Just one more hit
   I promise I can deal with it
   I’ll handle it, quit it
   Just one more time, then that’s it
   Just a little bit more to get me through this
   

7. 7. Where Is Your HeartListen

   Written By: Kelly Clarkson/Kara DioGuardi/Kreviazuk, Chantel
   I don't believe
   In the smile that you leave me with
   When you walk away and say goodbye
   
   Well i don't expect
   The world to implode
   Beneath me but for god's sake could you try
   
   I know that you're true to me
   You're always there, you say you care
   I know that you wanna be mine
   
   Where is your heart
   Cause i don't really feel you
   Where is your heart
   What i really want is to believe you
   Is it so hard to give me what i need
   I want your heart to bleed
   aAnd that's all i'm asking for
   Where is your heart?
   
   I don't understand
   Your love is so cold
   It's always me who's reaching out for your hand
   
   I always dreamed
   That love would be effortless
   Like a petal falling to the ground
   A dreamer following his dream
   
   Where is your heart
   Cause i don't really feel you
   Where is your heart
   What i really want is to believe you
   Is it so hard to give me what i need
   I want your heart to bleed
   And that's all i'm asking for
   Where is your heart?
   
   It seems so much is left inside
   But you can say anything
   Oh anytime you need
   Baby it's just you and me
   
   I know that you're true to me
   You're always there, you say you care
   I know that you wanna be mine
   
   Where is your heart
   Cause i don't really feel you
   Where is your heart
   What i really want is to believe you
   Is it so hard to give me what i need
   I want your heart to bleed
   And that's all i'm asking for
   
   Where is your heart
   Cause i don't really feel you
   Where is your heart
   What i really want is to believe you
   Is it so hard to give me what i need
   I want your heart to bleed
   And that's all i'm asking for
   Where is your heart?
   

8. 8. Walk AwayListen

   Written By: Kelly Clarkson/Kara DioGuardi/Kreviazuk, Chantel/Raine Maida
   You’ve got your mother and your brother
   Every other undercover telling you what to say
   You think I’m stupid but the truth is that it’s cupid baby loving you has made me insane
   So before you point your finger
   Get your hand off of my trigger
   You need to know the situations getting old
   And now the more you talk the less I can take
   
   I’m looking for attention
   Not another question
   Should you stay or should you go
   Well if you don’t have the answer
   Why you still standing here
   Hey, hey, hey, hey
   Just walk away
   
   I waited here for you like a kid waiting after school
   So tell me, how come you never showed
   I gave you everything and never asked for anything
   And look at me, I’m all alone
   So before you start defending
   Stop all your pretending
   I know you know I know so what’s the point of being slow
   Let’s get this show on the road today
   
   I want a love
   I want a fire
   To feel the burn, my desires
   I want a man by my side
   Not a boy who runs and hides
   Are you gonna fight for me, die for me
   Live and breathe for me
   Do you care for me
   Cause if you don’t then just leave
   

9. 9. You Found MeListen

   Written By: Kara DioGuardi/John Shanks
   Is this a dream?
   If it is
   Please don't wake me from this high
   I've become comfortably numb
   Until you opened up my eyes
   To what it's like
   When everything's right
   I can't believe
   
   You found me
   When no one else was lookin'
   How did you know just where I would be?
   Yeah, you broke through
   All of my confusion
   The ups and the downs
   And you still didn't leave
   I guess that you saw what nobody could see
   You found me
   You found me
   
   So, here we are
   That's pretty far
   When you think of where we've been
   No going back
   I'm fading out
   All that has faded me within
   You're by my side
   Now everything's fine
   I can't believe
   
   You found me
   When no one else was lookin'
   How did you know just where I would be?
   Yeah, you broke through
   All of my confusion
   The ups and the downs
   And you still didn't leave
   I guess that you saw what nobody could see
   You found me
   You found me
   
   And I was hiding
   'Til you came along
   And showed me where I belong
   You found me
   You found me
   When no one else was lookin'
   How did you know?
   How did you know?
   
   You found me
   When no one else was lookin'
   How did you know just where I would be?
   Yeah, you broke through
   All of my confusion
   The ups and the downs
   And you still didn't leave
   I guess that you saw what nobody could see
   You found me
   
   (You found me)
   (When no one else was lookin')
   You found me
   (How did you know just where I would be?)
   You broke through
   All of my confusion
   The ups and the downs
   And you still didn't leave
   I guess that you saw what nobody could see
   The good and the bad
   And the things in between
   You found me
   You found me
   

10. 10. I Hate Myself For Losing YouListen

    Written By: Kara DioGuardi/Jimmy Harry/Shep Solomon
    I woke up today
    Woke up wide awake
    In an empty bed
    Staring at an empty room
    I have myself to blame
    For the state I’m in today
    And now dying doesn’t seem so cruel
    And oh, I don’t know what to say
    And I don’t know anyway, anymore
    
    I hate myself for losing you
    I’m seeing it all so clear
    I hate myself for losing you
    What do you do when you look in the mirror
    And staring at you is why he’s not here
    
    You got what you deserved
    Hope you’re happy now
    ‘Cause every time I think of both of you
    It’s killing me inside
    And now I dread each day
    Knowing that I can’t be saved
    From the loneliness of living without you
    And oh, I don’t know what to
    Not sure that I’ll pull through
    I wish you knew
    
    I hate myself for losing you
    And oh, I don’t know what to do
    Not sure that I’ll pull through
    I wish you knew, I wish you knew
    And oh, I don’t know what to say
    And I don’t know anyway, anymore
    No, no
    
    What do you say, when everything you said
    Is the reason why he left you in the end
    How do you cry when every day you said
    Don’t ever bring him back again
    

11. 11. Hear MeListen

    Written By: Kelly Clarkson/Kara DioGuardi/Clif Magness
    You gotta be out there
    You gotta be somewhere
    Wherever you are
    I’m waiting…
    Cause there are these nights when
    I sing myself to sleep
    And I’m hoping my dreams bring
    You close to me
    Are you listening?
    
    Hear me I’m crying out
    I’m ready now
    Turn my world upside down
    Find me
    I’m lost inside this crowd
    It’s getting loud
    I need you to see
    I’m screaming for you to please
    Hear me
    
    Can you hear me?
    
    I used to be scared of
    Letting someone in
    But it gets so lonely
    Being on my own
    With no one to talk to and
    No one to hold me
    I’m not always strong
    Oh I need you here
    
    Are you listening?
    I’m restless and wild
    I fall but I try
    I need someone to understand
    (Can you hear me?)
    I’m lost in my thoughts
    And baby I’ve fought
    For all that I’ve got
    Can you hear me?
    

12. 12. Beautiful Disaster (Live)Listen

    Written By: Jordan, Rebekah/Matthew Wilder
    He drowns in his dreams
    An exquisite extreme I know
    He's as damned as he seems
    And more Heaven than a heart could hold
    
    And if I tried to save him
    My whole world could cave in
    It just ain't right
    Just ain't right
    
    Oh and I don't know
    I don't know what he's after
    But he's so beautiful
    Such a beautiful disaster
    And if I could hold on
    Through the tears and the laughter
    Would it be beautiful
    Or just a beautiful disaster
    
    He's magic and myth
    As strong as what I believe
    A tragedy with
    More damage than a soul should see
    And do I try to change him
    So hard not to blame him
    Hold on tight
    Hold on tight
    
    I'm longing for love and the logical
    But he's only happy hysterical
    I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
    Waiting so long
    
    He's soft to the touch
    But frayed at the ends he breaks
    He's never enough
    And still he's more than I can take
    
    Oh and I don't know
    I don't know what he's after
    But he's so beautiful, such a beautiful disaster
    And if I could hold on
    Through the tears and the laughter
    Would it be beautiful, or just a beautiful disaster
