"When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly."

Because of You by Kelly Clarkson

February 21, 2008

I really love this song because of its meaning. This was sung by Kelly Clarkson who won in the American Idol. Please read its lyrics and try to internalize its message. The song goes this way…

Because Of You

I will not make the same mistakes that you did 
And 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 can not 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 watched you die)
I heard you cry 
Every night in your sleep
(In your sleep)  
I was so young
(I was too young for you)
You should have known better than to lean on me
(To lean on me)
You never thought of anyone else
(You never saw me)
You just saw your pain 
And 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, ooh
Because of you, ooh, ooh
