Hey all! This is my first Music Monday post! I have wanted to participate for a while now, and somehow never remember to set it up. I always see these posted by Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek (also- I love that he has an alphabetical list of all the songs he has posted), so thank you Drew for exposing me to this awesome idea! Today I would like to share with you a song that I just cannot get enough of.
Kelly Clarkson is a longtime favorite artist. I like how goofy and fun she is, and I really enjoy her sound. While some of her songs can sound very pop-y, I feel like a lot of them have such a unique sound and I really like them for that reason. This one in particular I cannot seem to grow tired of. I find myself blasting it when it comes on the radio, and singing it in my head for days on end.
Without further ado, here is I Don’t Think About You by Kelly Clarkson
When you’re lost in the moment
You can’t see where you’re going
I didn’t know who I could trust
So I put all my faith in us
Oh, you tore me to pieces
Turned my strength into weakness
I didn’t want it all to fall apart
So I decided just to play the part
But honestly, I’d do it all again
Putting up with all the bullshit
It made me strong enough to do this
It used to bother me
Thought I could never leave
After all that I’ve been through, nothin’ left to prove
No, no, no, I don’t think about you
Weighin’ down on me
I lost my sanity
And now that we are through, nothin’ left to lose
No, no, no, I don’t think about you
I feel freedom where I stand now
And I feel proud of who I am now
Yeah, I learned a lot along the way
I love the woman that I became
I was patient, but not anymore
It’s back in my hands
And you swore I’d never do it
But it’s your turn to face the music
It used to bother me
Thought I could never leave
After all that I’ve been through, nothin’ left to prove
No, no, no, I don’t think about you
Weighin’ down on me
I lost my sanity
And now that we are through, nothin’ left to lose
No, no, no, I don’t think about you
It was hard to hold on
Days and nights I thought I’d never make it at all
Couldn’t make it at all
Now I stand tall
Feeling like myself again, no worries at all
Breathe
No one can stop me from livin’ this moment for me
I found my heartbeat
After all that I’ve been through
No, I don’t think about you
It used to bother me (it used to bother me)
Thought I could never leave (thought I could never leave)
After all that I’ve been through (through), nothin’ left to prove (prove)
No, no, no, I don’t think about you
Weighin’ down on me (weighin’ down on me)
I found my sanity (I found my sanity)
And now that we are through (through), nothin’ left to lose (lose)
No, no, no, I don’t think about you
I don’t think about you (no)
No, no, no (no, no, no)
Not anymore (not anymore)
No, no, no, I don’t think about you
