Kelly感人肺腑的浓郁唱腔使这首“Because of you”从一开始就牵动我的心。你即使不知道歌词大意，也可能因为它的凄婉曲调而扼腕感伤。Kelly如泣如诉而又富有弹性的声音，让人从中听到一种震慑人心的控诉，听到一个女子掩藏在坚强外表下的忧愁和委屈。

这首歌的歌词更是感人至深，朴实的字里行间，写着一个女子从埋怨到挣扎，再到清醒的过程。在自己幼年的时候，她是父母间恶劣关系的牺牲品，所以当她也遭遇同样的处境时，看着女儿含泪的眼睛，她猛醒，毅然走出了悲剧的循环。

这首歌不仅是情感的表达，而且也是一种呼声，具有积极的社会意义，就像Jay当年的那首《爸，我回来了》一样。家庭冲突最大的受害者，往往不是冲突的双方，而是无辜的孩子。希望Kelly的歌声能唤醒那些迷失方向的父母，不要等到孩子眼中噙满仇恨的泪水，才去后悔。

[ti:because of you]

[ar:reba mcentire with kelly clarkson]

[al:now that's what i call country]

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 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 find it hard to trust/not only me, but everyone around me/because of you i am afraid

because of you/because of you
