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 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? | | 15-01-2005 12:41 CryinWater |

| 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!

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!!  | | 27-01-2005 02:56 Because_Of_U |

| Kelly wrote SIX (6) songs on Breakaway, that including BECAUSE OF YOU, Addicted, Behind These Hazel Eyes, Where Is Your Heart, Walk Away, and Hear Me. also, Ben and David HELPED (co-wrote i guess u can say), but Kelly WROTE it. Its about her family, and Kelly is the only one who can write about wut happened in her family. | | 04-02-2005 02:14 Because_Of_U |

| “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.”

| 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 | | 04-02-2005 04:14 XxEvGrlyxX |

| 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. | | 05-02-2005 04:42 Because_Of_U |

| “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.
