General information
Because of You is a song by Kelly Clarkson that was released on her 2004 album, Breakaway. It was written by Kelly along with its producers, ex-Evanescence members David Hodges and Ben Moody. She originally wrote Because of You when she was 16 years old to cope with the emotional distress caused by her parents' divorce. She wanted the song to be included on her 2003 debut studio album, Thankful, but her record label rejected it. She then polished the song with David and Ben before successfully convincing her label to include it on Breakaway.
David and Ben have writing credits for another song, Addicted, from the same album, and David is also rumoured to be the inspiration for Behind These Hazel Eyes.

Lyrics
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh
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, every day 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 watched you die, in your sleep)
I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me
(I was too young for you to lean on me)
You never thought of anyone else, you just saw your pain
(You never saw me, yeah, yeah)
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 (Ah-ah, ah, ah)
Because of you, mmh, ooh
