Song lyrics
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 will 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
Every day of my life 
My heart can't possibly break 
When it wasn't even whole to start with 

Because of you 
I will 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 will 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 tried 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 

Because of you
Because of you

I'm with XxEvGrlyxX...she's right.


Kelly Clarkson got SAVED by Ben Moody and Mr. David Hodges...their grammy winning song-writing skills saved Kelly from the fate of many pop artists.

I mean Kelly is talented and all, but lets give props to Ben and David on this song and Addicted...the two songs are the greatest songs on the album and we all know why.

ACTUALLY...if u didnt notice there was an arrow symbol after wut i quoted which means that i wrote something after that...this is wut it should have sed... "Kelly Clarkson got SAVED by Ben Moody and Mr. David Hodges...their grammy winning song-writing skills saved Kelly from the fate of many pop artists." Kelly didnt get "saved" by anyone. She writes her own music, ben and david 'helped' her write it. THEY are the ones who CO-WROTE it i guess u can say. Kelly actually WROTE it HERSELF, they just "touched it up" thats all.

and just so ya kno, im not sayin ur a kelly hater, im not tryin to sound like a bitch with my replies so u dont need to be gettin a nasty n shit to me. it just seems as if ur giving david and ben ALL the credit for these two songs, and they dont deserve all the credit. kelly deserves most of it, she did most of the writing, not the guys. they play the melody and its awsome, thats wut i give them credit for. its good that ur a kelly fan, im glad. n no, i dont KNO u, n u dont kno me, the only point i was tryin to get across was that she wrote this song wayyy before she even met those guys, so she was actually the one who WROTE the song, they just "touched it up" with her. geeze.

ok thiz iz wut im tryin to get across iz that they all deserve the same credit b/c they all did there part so dont be sayin kelly clarkson should get most of it b/c im sure david and ben wrote the muzik and part of the lyrics so yea and wen i first posted i wuz talkin to everyone who wuz sayin kelly did a good job on the song b/c she wasnt the only one writin it and yes they did save her from not having these 2 songs on the album b/c if they werent there addicted probaly wouldnt have been wrote and thiz song probaly wouldnt be as awsum as it iz

ok...well it just seemed as if u were givin all the credit to ben and david. thats all. n thats y i posted her comments about her songs on here so u can see that they didnt deserve most of the credit. also, im sure addicted would have been on the cd, cuz again, she wrote that even before she met ben and david. but i do agree wit u on one thing, that the songs prolly would sound as great Instrument Wise bc ben and david are extremely great musicians.

sure addicted would have been on the cd but it wouldnt have been as good and im not saying intrument wise but i mean the lyrics wouldnt have been as powerful without ben and davids help so i agree with evgrly

i disagree... i think the lyrics would have been just as good as they are now. Kelly is a great writer... she can write really amazing songs, just like the ones on her cd. she writes all the time about everything, so i think that it would still be a great song if she didnt have their help to "patch it up"

actually the lyrics would be different if she didnt have ben and david to help why do you think everybody likes those two songs because there different then the rest because they helped DUH!!!!!!!!!!

i dunno, i liked those two songs the first time i heard them and i didnt even kno that they helped her with them til like a few days after i got the album. My favorite was Because of You, but I liked Hear Me and Where is Your Heart better than Addicted, but then Addicted grew on me. actually its not just because david and ben helped Kelly with these two songs that everyone loves them so much, its Kellys ORIGIONAL lyrics AND the guys' help with these songs. Im sure that MOST fans like these songs because of the lyrics (that are SO deep and meaningful) and the melody (which the guys play) Half the fans prolly just thought that ben and david only played the melody and didnt help her with the lyrics at first. I definately give these guys credit for their great job with the help of these songs, dont get me wrong. but there are things that i do disagree with yall on about it. but heyy, everyones entitled to their opinions.

you spelt original wrong but i still think those two songs stuck out because they are different and are deeper than the others more like evanesence songs and its obvious why because ben and david did help with lyrics and music

AGAIN...im not sayin that thats not wut ur sayin, im sayin that it SEEMS like yall r givin the guys all the credit, just by sayin that the songs wouldnt be as good if they didnt help her.... to me, i think theyd be just as good. the guys do the intrumental parts, yea, they did help write the song, but their best talent is with musical instruments, n thats y the songs have such an amazing beat to them, bc the guys played.

just to let yall kno, im not tryin to make myself seem liek a bitch, but all i was tryin to say was that yall seemed liek yall was givin the guys all the credit, n only givin kelly some of it, when she was the one who actually wrote the entire song before she even met the guys. they collaberated with her to help her reword some of it basically, n then to play the rhythm n beats...
