Kelly wrote this song about her parents' divorce. My mom cheated on my dad a lot and he loved her more than anything. I found out as a kid by intercepting a phone call between my mom and her boyfriend and she asked me to hide it from my dad. I watched their relationship fall apart, and now being an adult, I avoid forming attachments to people. I've been married to one of my friends for years and I cannot even bring myself to love him. I just think about watching my dad cry, and take his frustrations out on me because I reminded him of her. This song kicks my a*s.

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 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

Watching her parents' divorce and being the middle-man destroyed her for future relationships. Her mom leaned on her child, instead of keeping it to herself. She thinks that because of her parents' relationship ending, she will have the same future. She avoids love because of this. She thinks that it can only end badly. She "never strays too far from the sidewalk," to avoid pain. She doesn't realize that this means that it doesn't always end badly.
