Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.
The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is “seeing.”
~~~~~~~~~~
I drew a blank on this week’s theme. Nothing popped into my head, so I decided to finish a short story and worry about it later. Thirty minutes later my playlist handed me a great song!
I was never an American Idol fan, but I do thank them for Kelly Clarkson!
She has one of those voices that can sing anything. This song is from her latest CD – Meaning of Life. If you don’t have it, you should! 😀
I Don’t Think About You seems like a sad song at first but it’s actually about a woman whose eyes have been opened. She not only sees her partner for who/what he is, she finally sees herself for who she was meant to be and the life she’s meant to have… and it doesn’t include him.
[I threw in a bonus video at the bottom this week – Kelly singing My Country Tis’ Of Thee at the second Obama Inauguration. Such a voice! No lip syncing for this chick!]

I Don’t Think About You
By Kelly Clarkson
When you’re lost in the moment
You can’t see where you’re goin’
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[Pre-Chorus]
But honestly, I’d do it all again
Puttin’ up with all the bullshit
It made me strong enough to do this
[Chorus]
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
Weighing 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I was patient, but not anymore
It’s back in my hands
And you swore I’d never do it
But it’s your time to face the music
[Chorus]
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
Weighing 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
Weighing down on me
I found my sanity
And now that we are through, nothin’ left to lose
No, no, no, I don’t think about you
[Outro]
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

I’ve loved Kelly Clarkson from the beginning. I think her voice is brilliant! For some reason, I haven’t been listening to her new stuff, but I totally should. Thank you for this! Going now to add her back to my playlists! 🙂

Felicia, you picked a great song by a great artist. I heard this the other day and I know I need to get the album for sure. I am enjoying her on The Voice. And your bonus video is incredible!

New to me, but I don’t follow her super closely. She is always good though. Quite the voice that woman possesses. A find in a show I’m no fan of either.
