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'll 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'll 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'll 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  submitted by manties on 20-11-2004 corrected on 13-05-2012 |

 52 posts | 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. |

52 posts | "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." <<Actually, Kelly didnt get "saved" by ANYONE! She wrote those songs herself, she didnt even know the guys til she started to do the album. she wanted their help to touch it up a bit, so they helped her. they dont deserve ALL the credit. if u read my last few posts, thats proof rite there that she wrote em herself, they just helped her touch it up and they played the melody. i think they are wonderful songs, "Because of You" is my absolute favorite, but I think Hear Me is better than Addicted. Her whole album is amazing, shes amazing, and she DID write half the songs on the album so she deserves most of the credit for those songs. Ben and David didnt WRITE every word for these songs, Kelly did. They helped "patch it up" i guess u can say. yall shouldnt be givin all the credit to those guys.

1 posts | 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. |

52 posts | "Addicted": written by Clarkson, Ben Moody, & David Hodges. "I had been holding on to 'Because Of You' and 'Addicted' for a while. I am in love with those two songs, the lyrics and the melodies, they are two of my favorite songs that I've ever written. I wanted to work on them with someone as passionate about music as I am. And then I heard that Evanescence record, I loved their record because of the passion behind it. I asked my management, 'Who made that record? I want to work with them on these two songs that I've written.' It ended up being Ben Moody and David Hodges. I met with Ben first, I didn't even know that he had left Evanescence. But he fell in love with 'Because Of You.' That's what matters, I wanted him to love the music. I was like, 'Dude, if you don't like the songs, just let me know, we can write some new stuff, or you don't have to work with me at all.' It worked out really, really well."
"THEY ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITE SONGS I HAVE EVER WRITTEN" "HE (BEN) FELL IN LOVE WITH 'BECAUSE OF YOU'. THATS WHAT MATTERS" Theres more proof. Kelly DOES write her own music. Im not sayin that she should get ALL the credit, but she DOES deserve MOST of it. They HELP. |

52 posts | i kno that they "helped" write it. if u notice i did say that they helped... she wrote it when seh was 16, so i can guarantee u that she wrote most of it, and they just helped her with it and gave her sum ideas n shit. just cuz it sez they co-wrote it dont mean they co-wrote the whole damn song. they prolly did parts of it but not most of it. and YES, i do kno that ben and david play guitar and w/e else they play in the song. im not that fkn stupid. and just an FYI: Kelly JUST did that interview for her new bio with RCA (her record company) and RCA is who put that out on different websites for her fans to see so they can understand the songs more. i DID NOT make it up. they have the fkn video of her saying everything in my post. and to answer you question y she needed help, that would be because she wrote it when she was 16, and it may not have been fully constructed like with wut verses are going to go where, and wut the whole chorus is gonna be. im sure when she wrote it it was longer than wut the song is, so they also prolly helped her shorten it and they prolly helped her with a verse or the chorus, i dont kno, but im tellin u, she wrote MOST of the song. they helped her. thats it. |

18 posts | and check on the beginning of that lil peice it sayz written by clarkson, BEN MOODY AND DAVID HODGES so u juss contridicted urself b/c it says rite therr that they helped write it |
| 04-02-2005 04:12 XxEvGrlyxX | |
18 posts | you cant just take some made up quote that u probaly got off a website or smthn b/c if she did in fact write the song wen she wuz 16 WHY did she need help from david hodges and ben moody??? exactly maybe she had the idea down and maybe some of the lyrics but they DID in fact help write it and thas wut im tryin to get across that kelly clarkson ddnt write these songs all by herself.......also why do u think thiz song and addicted stand out wen ur listenen to the album itz cause ben moody and david hodges actually play in the song and if u listen closely the lyrics r way more darker and grown up in these two songs b/c she wuz helped by them by the two guyz that helped amy lee many timez b4 so check in the rolling stones even they have some reference about her sounding like amy lee in the songs and only these songs so u know that it wuz b/c of them that the songs sound like that |

52 posts | is that enuff proof that Kelly DID infact write this song? it sez rite there that she wrote it when she was 16, i dont think she knew ben and david when she was 16... dont get me wrong, theyre great guys and they are really good with music. |

52 posts | "Because Of You": written by Clarkson, Ben Moody, & David Hodges. "'Because Of You' isn't about breakups, it's about my family. It is about growing up in a broken home. My parents were together for 17 years or so, and then all of the sudden, something went wrong. But I've talked to lots of friends who have seen domestic violence in their homes; I didn't. But if you see those things as a child, you see a family member cheating or people not trusting each other or people not communicating with each other, that effects you. You end up afraid to trust people, because you think you're going to get screwed over. Me and a friend of mine were up late one night talking about our lives, and it led to this song. I wrote it when I was 16, my friend was having a really hard time with her family. It was a different situation than mine, but I could relate to what she was going through. My parents were together for a long time, and suddenly one thing happens, and it's over. That could happen to me. It made me feel like, why would I want to open up and trust someone? I know that it's a childish way to look at it; life is a risk, and anything worth having is worth taking a risk for, but I wrote it when I was 16. I have learned a lot since then. At the same time, it doesn't matter how old you are, you can still relate. I was 6 when my parents got divorced. I used to be the most closed off person. I didn't want to get hurt. I had been messed over by friends, and I had been through a lot with my family. I didn't pity myself, but I did put a wall up. I'm smarter now, but I have a good relationship with God, and that's gotten better over the years. That's why I've gotten smarter about situations. I'm a very trusting person now. I'm not going to let people screw me over left and right, but at the same time I'm not going to close myself off. That's a big step for me."

2 posts | Most of this song is about her parent's divorce [if you didn't know, Kelly's parents got divorced when she was 6.] Many people relate to this song. Its an amazing, and emotional song. I give Kelly props for being an AMAZING songwriter. You go Kelly!! |

52 posts | DEWY44: im not sure. im listenin to it again alot closer n then after its over ill let u kno... k.
OK: heres my conclusion. I guess u can say that it sounds like wut u sed. But some parts i dont really think that it goes with wut u was sayin. liek when she sez " my heart cant possibly break, when it wasnt even whole to start with" makes it seem like shes talkin about a guy. but when she sings the bridge "i watched u die, i heard u cry every nite in ur sleep. i was so YOUNG u should have known better than to lean on me. u never thought of n e one else u just saw ur pain, n now i cry in the middle of the nite for the same damn thing" and chorus makes it seem like shes talkin about wut u was sayin. so like, i dunno wut to make of it now. lol. ITS STILL AN EXCELLENT SONG THO! |

2 posts | I'm not sure if this song is about a relationship. I think it might be about maybe seeing a mother going through a hard relationship and her having to grow up watching it and dealing with it. Something like that. Anyone agree? |
