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 everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kelly_clarkson/because_of_you.html ]
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 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
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
I adore kelly clarkson! Why is it that the best winners of ai didn't plan on ever being on the show? Kelly's frien made her go, and david cook was only there to support his brother who was auditioning, but they made him try out, too. I really love this song because its so... Heartfelt. You can just feel it. She's saying that she's screwed up now because she let you influence her so much, and now she's afraid to trust anyone. God i know how that feels. It really sucks... I'm glad she has songs like this and not just the pop fluff i would have expected from ai
This song really reminds me of my ex boyfriend because he hurt me so bad and now that we arent together anymore i find it hard to trust other guys because of him and im finding it hard to love again.
Because of someone stopping you or controlling you,you can't love... You can't do what you want because all the things that you do seem to be wrong. You're like in the middle of nowhere.

One of the hardest things i have ever done is watch a loved one make mistake after mistake and ultimately ending up incarcerated. This song speaks to anyone who has ever had a loved one in jail or prison.

Because of you" is about the negative legacies parents leave their children with. They enforce their ideas and bad experiences they've had on their kids without realizing the true impact of their words. It's about the vulnerability they create within their children. It's about the way kelly has been influenced by her mother leaning on her in a way that a child shouldn't have to deal with. I believe kelly wrote this song for the future generations when we have children. To make people understand the true impact their words have on their children and to tell us it's not ok; kids need stability and encouragement to go out and experience things for ourselves.

The mother lost the love of her husband and had no one to turn to. So she turned to her young daughter who was too young to understand life yet. Which in turn, ruined her psycologically in her later years. Its a sad all around.
