Kelly Clarkson has revealed the reasons behind her recent breakup with boyfriend Graham Colton, telling Us Weekly that after touring together during her 2005 concert tour, a long-distance relationship just wasn't working for the couple.

"He was in the studio, and we didn't even see each other. We were both like, 'This Doesn't make sense,'" the original American Idol winner explained to the magazine.

However although the couple has ended their seven month relationship, Clarkson says she remains good friends with the 23-year-old lead singer of the Graham Colton Band that served as her 2005 tour's opening act. "If something is at a standstill, you might as well save the relationship as a friendship," the 23-year-old recent double Grammy Award winner told Us.

Clarkson also isn't ruling out the possibility that the couple might get back together down the road. "I love him to death. Who knows? In the future we might get back together. But if I'm not going to get to hang out or make out, I don't really want to date."
