Because Of You
Kelly Clarkson(саксофон) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

Because of you
Because of you

Overall Meaning

In "Because Of You," Kelly Clarkson describes how her past experiences and childhood have affected her current outlook and behavior in life. She pledges to not make the same mistakes as her parent or anyone else who has caused her pain before, and as a result, she has become guarded in her actions and relationships with others. She feels afraid and finds it difficult to trust anyone after witnessing and experiencing such pain and hurt in her past. The song also touches on the theme of emotional abuse as she talks about being forced to fake a smile and hide her emotions to avoid being seen as weak.

And you know I have never experienced abuse and I hope I never do. But I have seen it on YouTube people that I have experienced situations that aren’t good

And you know even if their life isn’t good you know and it’s such a lonely place that you feel nobody cares

There is always somebody that cares and life can be great life can be full positivity and kindness loving compassion. Is just how you choose to live it

You can live life being kind to people and laughing and cracking funny jokes and using funny statements to get you by in life

Or you can live in misery and be miserable and be a nasty person you know. Life is the individual person chooses to live their life

Nobody else made them live that way no matter how bad the situation was in their past. You know nobody’s forcing and telling you how to live in the future it’s all up to you

It’s your choice and only you can choose how you live in the future.

I was a ‘daddy’s girl’, growing up in the 60’s-70’s. Everytime my mom and dad had a fight, I saw my dad getting his keys and I would run outside and climb in the car ahead of my dad. He’d get in, look at me, and say ‘as long as you’re quiet’ and allow me to ride along, where he’d go for a coffee and get me a chocolate milk. I saw him simmer down, become calm, and after a bit we’d go home.
My mom, God Bless her in her pain, would snap at me, saying I was ‘taking sides’.
I was able to tell her, some years later before she passed (rather suddenly) from pancreatic cancer:
Mom. I wasn’t taking dad’s side. I just wanted to be with him to make sure HE CAME HOME.

This song encapsulates so many memories, so much pain…

Some day I'll stumble upon this song again, and I won't have this anger anymore. I'd have forgiven, moved on, be happy. This song would be familiar in tune, I might remember the lyrics vaguely and then mumble along, I would know with my mind that it was very painful as I related it, but I won't feel it anymore. Thank you for this song, Kelly Clarkson. To everyone going through similar pains, may we get through this as quickly as possible and come out the other side not too hurt that we've lost ourselves completely. God loves us.

sorry? lie about trust. I can deceive people who believe in my goodness. which in fact I have a lot of sins and mistakes. but I don't want anyone else. fall with my mistakes and sins. avoid it. it was devastating and never came back. especially losing loved ones. not changing other people's wishes to follow mine. but what is the real truth. you will be disappointed if you see me but believe me if it's the truth it is for you not for me. but thank the true God. if you are disappointed make a superman version come down from the sky and help you. You know . you don't lie inside. it will never exist and happen. is this like an endless word? up for debate. I don't feel like my age is getting old and don't want to keep admitting mistakes. remember the death of the corona virus has been in thousands in each region. even the farthest areas. many people are sad and desperate for those who experience it. money and lives are falling inappropriately. faith began to shake violently. an atsmofer of sadness and despair . which one do you want to follow?

edible fruit and not? God forbid it? and can't even eat it? talk about cause and effect? does God allow all these problems? with this belief? if we look at this world and its interests. anyone studying the true path and religion? why be so far away from the goal? when there is an incident or crime, it is natural and must???? ....? should I be that person? we must be vigilant? do we learn the truth? not as perpetrators of crime and making crime look positive and must be done. crime is crime. there is nothing good in it. even harm others and destroy your career. If you want money? not wrong? remember but the way? Stay with God? but we have to have a job, from what? that can make money right and not breaking. let alone insist on being right. clearly in God is the opposite? so use life and what we have wisely and well. before we know it. sorry for always coming late. try and think for real. not always use analogies to change paradigms and perspectives. keep fighting reality and repeating the same mistakes. become a science that contradicts the basic foundations of cause and effect and real logical thinking. what is real and reality. before we realize and it's too late. fill this day with kindness and enthusiasm. Don't forget to take good care of this corona virus. because the future of vaccines and the amount and level of economic income of a country are determined. only true vaccines. which can treat body cells that are attacked. heart and brain cells are cells that can only grow after decades. even have to be willing to spend energy that should not be wasted from this body on purpose.

This song definitely reminds me of my mom. The lyrics express my life so much growing up, how much I needed her to just notice me but she never did. She neglected me for years, despite me doing EVERYTHING for her. And now, I feel so scared and empty in life. And it's because of my mom, that I've become so sympathetic and understanding...but also so vulnerable and easy to hurt.

Thankfully, I do have a very loving boyfriend who's been filling that hole in my heart that my mom created so long ago. But it's still hard most days, remembering her neglect and how she warped my brain to the point I couldn't be 'normal' for a very long time.

Sarah Peterson it must have been so hard for you. Many children are placed in that position by broken hurting parents.

When my mom was depressed she would use me as a therapist. Just dumped all her problems on me. I was in high school and felt like I was the adult at home. Didn't tell her about the stuff I was going through because I didn't want to add to her problems. Which is why they found out about my suicidal thoughts from my psychiatrist about 1.5 years after it started.

when you live in the forest alone in reality. with real knowledge and ecosystems. you shoot because you need to. even you realize that you are lonely. your heart doesn't want to destroy more. where you feel comforted by the presence of those who comfort you. the logic of this life will surely emerge. when the purity of the heart is not polluted by unrighteous thoughts. what do you shoot for? there's even a better way than archery. to survive? there's not even an end. all have a function and are used for something that is right and not justify something of the thing done.

@notjokeyaya4468

All jobs require good management. even in places of worship. when making mistakes and violations. in big cities. not an ordinary sight. but get used to it. when we do not dare to admit and bear losses and mistakes. but by taking the right or something basic. to cover losses from people's property or that is contrary to even violating God's law. be for the atonement and cover the loss, even make it a fantastic field and profit. good things, bad things and a feeling of dilemma (good people look evil and are annihilated) become a familiar image. it is so sad and unlucky if a righteous person experiences the same thing as an evil person. beware. remember the story of the brothers. his brother .did what was right and best for God. but his brother became jealous and killed his brother . not all good deeds, bring benefits for yourself, even for God. there were only four of them and who would want to see and for what? Be alert and don't let this heart be ruled by bad thoughts. if not the closest person? who can help? why everything is turned opposite. keep trying and spirit?

Peggy Schuyler I disagree with the "or divorce" part heavily. My parents are divorced, but were mature about. I never heard them argue to my memory, I never saw violence, even to this day they can hold civilized conversation when discussing something about me as far as I'm aware, and I see both almost equally. There is no reason for two people to be in a toxic or miserable relationship for the child's sake, and that is what leads to the violence and cheating that will likely give the child trust issues and anxiety.

She wrote this when she was 16. Very powerful song to be written at any age, let alone as a teenager. I think sometimes we forget just how good a writer Kelly is. Sometimes her songwriting gets over shadowed by her unbelievably beautiful voice. We all have our own opinions about music, but for me Kelly is the best singer I've ever heard.

@frankingenito

2y↑139

In response to the comment from Breanna Jones that this song was written by Reba McEntire: The songwriting credits are given to Kelly Clarkson, David Hodges and Ben Moody. Hodges and Moody produced the song. Kelly has said that the song would not have gotten recorded without their help, so she gave them a songwriting credit. But Kelly wrote it at 16. It was about her parents divorce. Reba did record her own version of this with Kelly. Kelly released it on her Breakaway album in 2005. Reba's version came out on her album Duets in 2007. So while Reba did sing a version of it, she had nothing to do with the writing of it. I hope that clears things up.

This song resonates with everyone who went through rough childhood experience which maybe just little less intense to say traumatic because there are people who have been through worse, but doesn’t mean it affects you less. Some traumatic childhood experiences are hard to explain because you had food on your plate and a roof over your head. Your parents worked hard for you, and didn’t abandon you but emotionally they were not there, and you never received that emotional security to grow into a full happy adult. All those arguments, bitterness, chaos and fear left a huge hole inside your heart, who would you hold accountable for? My heart breaks every time I come to this song because I see myself in that little girl

Coming back to this comment after a year and a half as so many great souls are telling me how it resonates with them. I was so wrong about comparing trauma in terms of some people having it worse. I didn’t know at that time. Emotional neglect and abandonment in your childhood IS A TRAUMA…period!
I know it now because finally after being emotionally broken for so many years, I am able to recognise how it has shaped me and my relationship with people around me.
The silver lining is I am learning that the trauma can be healed and I am finally beginning to work on it with my therapist and also with self education and researching. Dr. Gabor Mate is the specialist in childhood trauma and is very helpful, anyone with childhood trauma should listen to him. You are all loved ❤

You are amazing. You're so strong and I'm so proud of you for managing everything so well. I know you feel confused and helpless but please never give up on yourself. It wasn't your fault,you were just a child trying to discover the world...
God has a gift for everyone who has been so strong to deal with a traumatic childhood,he has for you too and that's why he has given you so much strength. I believe in your power and I know you'll be able to get through this difficult journey and come out stronger with every moment passing by. Just because,nobody knows about your pain doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Your trauma is real and matters.
Stay strong.

Everytime I listen to this song, I cry. Everyone relates differently to it, it reminds me of my childhood, the abuse from by father, the family fights, screams, hitting. Every word, literally every word, hits so hard. I'll never be like that, I keep telling myself every time the song finishes. I'm 30 this month, and I still fight the demons from the past. But we all just have to be better, better than our parents, better than us yesterday. ♥️

Australia will have more impact on global warming with California. losses could be more in the coming year. takes a long time to recover. the effects of widespread warming and rainfall. cannot be taken lightly. that there is a lot of damage and fire in the world has destroyed forests in parts of the world. and Latin America is facing in the future. the earthquake alert will increase by 4 months in areas affected by the earthquake good wishes and prayers and security and peace.

So very true! Also, I was so young you should’ve known better than to lean on me... I hear pieces of myself so often in this song, a few are not “bad” but made me stronger n more aware of choices before I made them....I hope this is coming right to where nobody takes this the wrong way.... that’s not my intention.
Another song that touches my heart is “Where is the Love”

This song is so emotional. Makes you want to cry. The fact that Clive Davis hated this song and called Kelly a horrible songwriter is terrible and baffling. Kelly worked hard to get this song on an album. And no one liked this song until it became a # 1 hit worldwide. But, in the end, it all worked out for Kelly. “Because of You” got on the album, it became a hit, and it became one of her biggest hit songs to date. And so many people can relate to this song in one way or another!

It's taken many years to understand why and now at 57 I understand but it's to late she passed last year and I never told her how much I do understand but she did know that I loved her,that's the only thing I reminded myself of everyday.
