Kelly Clarkson: Because of You (lyrics)

[koobirds]

i can relate to this song soo much from whats happened to me and i bet that alot of other people can relate too.

[Thepoprock11]

I'm reposting for Amy Bruce and to get kissed tomorrow

[samanthajones34]

i love this song so much :) <3

[ninaherz5]

das lied ist schön...... "haaaaa"



[portia1085]

these lyrics suck

[The21Waffles]

What does the back up singer sing in the middle part when Kelly sings I watched you die, etc

[DuchessFerro]

So does this song is about parents fighting??

I always felt it was like any kind of violence, and maybe it describes my sad life, i was bullied and because of them I'm afraid.

[xDangerousDisasterx]

My parents constantly fight, and they don't even live together. My dad calls my mom up and calls her a whore, a bitch, stupid etc. And is trying to take me from her. And I can just here them screaming at each other over the phone, and they are literally SCREAMING.

Stupid fucker.

[07Adorkable]

Does anyone else hear it skipping? WTF i feel like i'm listening to a CD

[emmabunker]

@07Adorkable yeah looool

[KelllyRachel]

this is my song for my mom, i love her to death but it sucks when you don't have a childhood and your mom is more like a best friend

[58964512]

@KelllyRachel  ditto

[Bgomez148]

i luuv this song

[MySexychick5]

Jesus Christ, why is almost every "Because Of You" have "stray" instead of Stay? im tired of it. >_>

[scribe65]

@MySexychick5 thats because the actual lyrics are "stray". its an easy mistake, though

[SparklyMuffinMouse]

@scribe65 I think she meant why is it that its stray instead of stay.

[breannamarie96]

I relate to this song so much. What my dad did to me was wrong & he aint going to tear me up. I will be strong for the girls who were also sexually abused. When I listen to this song makes me wanna be even more strong.

[mya6754trejo]

omg i freakin luv this sng it remind meh of ma mommmy and daddy i luve it it make me sad and only good sngs make meh sad i luvs this sngg

[cupcakekitty05]

if u watch the video its of kelly watching herself as a child and that her dad didnt pay much attention to her. it has nothing to do with break ups.

[58964512]

omg ive been looking for the lyrics

[YourLyricWriter123]

Because of him... Im to scared that all the other guys will hurt me.. because og him.. Im to scared to trust anyonee Dx

[TheofficialScout]

@YourLyricWriter123 if what ur posting is real its obviously a lie cuz u wudnt just randomly post this hear.

[10animalloverforever]

this song helped me get through my dads death,and what my brother did to my (younger) sis and me.im still learning to trust a guy and friends.im ashamed of my life,my past,and my family for always fighting

[Zindiify]

@10animalloverforever u r one strong person an d i addmirate that about u. :)

[hayddlmc]

OH GOSH I LOOOOOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

[Superstar12399]

*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* story of my life.

[theeboobear]

this song is totally similar to me like in everything she sang i thought to myself 'oh my god this is me this what i am going through"

[colorstarlover1221]

this song helped me through all the tough times that my dad did that seperated my family.

[sulphurfire]

i sang this to my step dad and ina way he started to understand what i was going through to call him my dad and try to forget and my real dad.

[MissCookieBoo]

This song is basically my life.

[countrybaby991]

to me this song has so much meaning so i might sing it in my schools talent show and when i heard Kelly Clarkson sing for the first time i knew i would sing one of her songs because i can relate to her songs and her feelings so from know on she will always be my role model

[LovieChan1996]

i hate knowing that im one of those teens who dont have the "great life" or a "perfect family" but ill always find confort in my mom's arms... i feel bad for my mom cause she had to be the maid around her own house when her mother died when she was 15... i know she misses her mom, and i never want to lose mine.. so never go to sleep without apoligizing :[ cause you might never see them again!!

[cupcakelover1234567]

@LovieChan1996 aww )=

[piskellasnob]

Ogni volta sta kanzoneee.. mi fa salire i Brividiiiii *________* è bellissima & stupendaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaa <3

[justybaby5]

every time i hear this song i cry cause i feel so sorry for the people who have to deal with there parents fighting

[gvilledawgs14]

@justybaby5 dont feel sorry for us.

This song always brings a tear to my eye! :'( This song means the world to me... seeing as my parents always fight and the way my father hit my mum and the way she says she fell down the stairs to her mates... im 14 now and i wish i could stop it! i know this is youtube but can anyone help me what should i do?? lol sorry stupid to ask on youtube!

[angie11022]

@KimmieLeeToman TALK TOO YOUR PARENTS TELL THEM HOW YOU DONT LIKE IT...THEY WILL UN DERSTAND

[KimmieLeeToman]

@angie11022 Cheers x thanks for the advice!! <3

[missambernicole11]

@KimmieLeeToman it is NOT stupid to ask for help on youtube!!! but sweetie, im 14 also and im going through the same thing. if you ever feel alone or anyhting, u can talk to me. u could tell an adult that u trust?? but all u can really do to help out, is pray for ur mom. God will help. :)

[TheAmazon2000]

painful words

[abmdckd]

( i know this song isn't about a break up but i feel this way) I loved this boy so much we ended up going out for years, then we broke up! He was my best friend ever he was the one i would turn to for a shoulder to cry on and know we hate each other and because of him making that so wonderful and happy when we were together,and then terrible ending, i can never trust a boy with my heart i am to afraid of the past becoming the present but with i new boy, all because of him

[ladybug38940]

makes me want to cry

[knoaco]

Okay everyone, I understand that this happned to u, and im so srry but those times are going to happen, life is the hardest thing in the world. I feel very srry that this happned to all of you But at least u can relate to this song and u know what shes talking about rite? And Trust me Your the only one who can change ur attitude and ur the only one who can make this better, Were all amazing and for those people tht cheated or did a crime dnt forget them but remember them for what they did :)

[serenityandannashow]

i have sooo much for trust issues, i hardly trust my family, story of my life, i have been used and befriended

[broadwaylove52]

I relate to this a lot, in regard to my parents fighting a lot when I was 12. This basically could have been written by me. lol. I get so emotional every time I hear this...

[7bieber7Mimi]

so i cried to myself everyday even more and then my pet died that i was really close to and nobody knew the pain i was goin through and now im fifteen and my mom is always tellin me her problems and stuff so im still goin through all this pain still except now i have a new bf and i think hes the one

[7bieber7Mimi]

wen i was about eight or nine my mom caught my dad cheating on her and i remember the drive where we chased him down and where we found the woman at her house and i remember my dad walking out in the mid of the night threatening to never come home again i cried myself to sleep everynight and then when i was about twelve or thirteen my sis got pregnant and caused more arguements in the house and i cried more and more everyday so much drama at home caused me to break up with my bf at school

[butterflychick4]

The past will always be a part of you and is certain to leave scars on you. You can't control what your parents do or dont do. The key to it all is to not let it define who you will become and what type of person you will be in life. I too grew up in a world of an abusive parent and yes, certain things said or done will trigger bad memories and yes I am scarred for life but I dont let it rule my life or define who I am as a person. I strive to be as opposite of my abusive parent as possible.

[dakota8097]

beautiful



[DJCANDY9]

honestly no one will have ther perfect parents they will always bad times, but they don't realize how much it rly hurts us,my parents fight a lot as well its not pretty but i just listen to music to try to drown it out, my father has made life not easy so it isnt easy.

[geriland]

I love this song!

[BiggestJBfan01]

This song is so emotional n alot of ppl think its bout a bad breakup and its not...It is about a troubled life and how it has scared her n i can relate to tht

[OverSeasSurvivor]

I will never regret a day with him. But I will regret everyday without him, and what he did to me, with his love..

[MegaCutiepie12]

(not lyrics from the song)

because of you </3 ... i learned to not make the same mistakes i did

Becasue of you </3 ... my heart is broken and cannot be fixed

Becasue of you </3 .... i learned theres really no such thing as lovee...

Becasuse of you </3... just f**k it , why cant you see what all you've donee !!!

[velefarm]

because of my love who has died and take my heart with him

[Emma70v3]

Because of you, I was scared to be alone at home with you

Because of you, I found it hard to trust people

Because of you, I hid my tears

Because of you, I learned how to run away

Because of you, I am scarred on the inside

Because of you, I am afraid

[haleyl72]

very good:)

[Sportschick3455]

[stailingo]

[kingpsyborgrockstar]

This song...it reminds me of my dad...everything in my past,how he screwed me and my brother up..how he left us alone...how...he died.. :/ ..it hurts...his last words were "I wish you were never born"

[xxbrianngoxx]

[imsohot887]

@xxGothicxxKittyxx im sorry

[kaitlynandcaitlyn14]

this is such an extremly beutiful song that almost everyone can realte to

[shatteredhynne]

Some scars never heal!

[paigepads13]

to me this is about parents and all the things they did to screw me and my siblings up...i will never be like them,and i know every kid says this but i know i wont because ill tell my children i love them everyday, i will support them, and i will always be there for them.

[missambernicole11]

@paigepads13 isnt it sad the way a parent or parents can mess things up??? now i have nobody...

[lAdiiExfOrgEtfUl]

because of you, i find it hard to trust people

because of you life is going to miss one person.

because of you i am getting ashamed of your life.

because of you.. everything's going to fall apart.

when everything use to be so happy.

& now i cry in the middle of the night for the same damn thing.

[LoveHeartIce]

Truth is, Kelly Clarkson didn't write this over a bad break up. She wrote it based on te trouble she had as a child. Having to see her parents fighting, some other events, and her parents probably didn't understand how horribly that emotionally and mentally must have scarred her. Like me. My emotions about my home life where my parents are always fighting and my mom pretends like she has problems and that no one else understands and she thinks I have nothing wrong in my life. But I do. It's her.

[adagirl12]

@LoveHeartIce i can relate to that so much.my family is always fighting and puttin eachother down.parents just dont understand that fightin can really mess their kids up...

[MadeForTomKaulitz]

@LoveHeartIce I have the same problem, when my parents fight .. i'm really scared. I don't want to watch or hear cuz they're throwing stuffs and really fight eachother. I'm 16 in february and as long as I remember , I've never be really really happy. It hurts that they don't understand that when they fight they also hurt me. it's so unfair. None of the children or kids should see or hear they're parents fighting. A home should be safe but my home isn't safe, I don't feel safe here...

[KaTiErox4ever1]

@LoveHeartIce

im sooo sorry to hear that! but trust me there's a million others out there who have felt the same way as you do/did including me. so just know that your not alone!

[missambernicole11]

@KaTiErox4ever1 and when times get hard for all of us... remember... Jesus loves you!! even when it seem like noone else does!!!

[KaTiErox4ever1]

@missambernicole11  thanks:)

[koobirds]

@missambernicole11 very true

[Beautifultent]

@LoveHeartIce Uhm , actualyl .... she didnt write the song . Period . Avril lavigne wrote it for her !

[missambernicole11]

@LoveHeartIce im so sorry!! my mom and her boyfriend did the same thing... i dont know who my dad is... but it tore me up to see them fighting... i had to b taken away and was put up ffor adoption. i guess in some ways its better, but growing up without a dad.... its hard.... im only 14... and yest i wonder how they could do that to themselves, and let alone me??? i wasn only six... :'(

[komal212]

What an amazing song 

[InuGirl246]

i luv this song...but it's really saddening :-(

[manynanyfish]

becuz of u ----- i can't think anything else..... i am so stuck, i can support d other person not to cry, but who will be my support? ;(

anyway the song is beautiful....

[2010thehorselover]

this song reminds me of my older cousin. she taught me everything that she knew to keep me safe........ I MISS YOU HOLLY!!!!!! you will always b in my heart!

[IloveNesli]

This song make me fell shivers<3

[shadowqueen1000]

love her voice!!!

[Hollyrox17]

Because of how you treat me. Becausse of how you hurt me. Because of how you test me. Because of how you make me love you.

[karlaortiz123456789]

@kvmh824 mmm girl im suew u will be a great mother im a mother of 3 and im 17 age is just a number just cuzz ur young it dont mean u cant be a gud mother keep ur head up high girl. (:

[shippoandinuyasha]

Because of you I lost my glow, my bounce, my smile... I grew up so fast. You took so much and gave so little. Material things dont make up for the anguish Ive been thru. I want to be 14 not 25. I dnt wanna be Afraid of love but i am111 And good god...I FINALLY HATE YOU! WHY CANT YOU JUST APOLOGIZE! ITS ALL I WANT!

[MusicForLife456]

Because of you I don't remember what it was like to be a child. Because of you my innocence is gone. Because of you I am afraid of so many people. You never even told me it'd be okay. for you its only a memory...for me its a living nightmare.

[Doornroosje0]

Great video!!

[jlee0867]

you should look at this 6 year old singing this song for her school talent show go to hailey's talent show she starts out a little shaky but she pulls it out !!!!!!!!!

[rhemidemi]

i love this song my mom died last month and this makes me think about her

[StaceysVans]

the person from evanescense i think the guitarist helped kelly w this song thats why it sounds so much like an evanescense song :)

[graciellarox13]

this song reminds me of me in a way. I get hell at school and lost all my friends so i become distanter and distanter with everyone and I dont let anyone into my world cuz they always hurt me

[softballbaaby14]

This is my theme song about my dad. :/

[sleeppyhollowxoxox]

@softballbaaby14 samee..

[kvmh824]

This song is about her childhood........ a deep fear of mine.... I had hell as a child (i'm 16 lol) and now as a result i'm a mommy...... I have a beautiful little girl and i'm scared to death i won't be a the mom she deserves......

[Kaitlyn2567]

2.send this to 2 other videos.

3.hold your breath for 10 seconds.

4.press refresh twice.

3.LOOK AT YOUR HAND

[cutechong]

This is good until it skips at

1:42

1:47

1:57

4:06

2:09..

Ok that's it. I was singing to this and getting into the song right up until I realized there was more than one mistake. WTF?! If this skips so much I would like to suggest that you upload a newer version and minimize the skps down to at least just two or three. Strange thing is this only skips at the work 'I' which is strange.

[DaveWolffang123]

the first friend i ever had made me feel like this bullying does affect people deeply i'm still scared to make friends so i don't talk to anyone at school

[cookiebootzz]

@DaveWolffang123 omg i really know how u feel, every day in school is such an emotional battle, somedays i just feel like crap and makes me pretty scared to talk to people
