Song Writing & Lyrics
Because of You by Kelly Clarkson
Hi, could I ask questions about the song “Because of You” by Kelly Clarkson?
1. What does “learned the hard way” mean?
2. What does “never let it get that far” mean?
3. What does “play on the safe side” mean?
4. What does “it's not too long before you point it out” mean?
Thank you so much.
Part of its lyrics is as follows:
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'll 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
