I love Kelly. I am so facinated with her voice. I named my little girl Kelly because I love her and I thought that would be a pretty name.

Yeah ok basically im not gonna droan on like other ppl did (sry;) im gonna say wat im saying but make it short and sweet. I agree with everyone about how its written about her parents divorce and she was kinda talking bout her dad in the beginning but then she moves on to say how her mom was not noticing how Kelly felt she was preoccupied with her problems. like it says / u never thought of anyone else you just saw your pain/
so really shes blaming both her parents

Before I watched the video and read this review I just enjoyed it as a catchy angsty pop song. But now I've seen it and understand that it's not about some guy but about parents- the tears were streaming down my face as I felt the song hit me on an amotional level.

yo i love the song because of you. I love kelly clarkson!!! you rock!

I think you are all wrong (but maybe I am)
I think 'you' in 'because of you' is refering to her mother not her father. she is upset at the way her mother reacted to her father leaving, that she couldnt cope and fell into depression. I agree that she is upset because her mother didnt aknoweldge that she was hurting too. But mostly I think the song is about how kelly is careful not to get hurt so she doesnt end up the same way, and she is scared of not being able to cope like her mother.
'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'

I never knew much about Kelly Clarkson's work til I heard this song, and it really touched me - both the lyrics and the performance.

Kelly Clarkson has an amazing voice. I am a huge fan of all her work. She has a voice that you feel as you listen to her music. Breakaway is a spectacular album. She is proving that she is a voice that will be heard for years to come.

wow this is supposed to be about her song and ppl on here are fighting about spelling errors .. i really enjoyed reading the review of such a heart filled song!!

This is ironic. Because just about every line that was interpreted of Kelly's life described in this song, is and was exactly like my life. I went through the same things, and felt the same exact way. I can relate to this song so much, it's almost a song of my life..
144 - katara
omg im so sorry 4 her!

148 - blah
what i don't get is why so much horrible dark feelings toward a parent...? I think that's become everyone's "easy out" for everything. "My parents did this and didn't do that and acted like this...it screwed me up for life - I HATE THEM."
it's a horrible epidemic.
wait until you're a parent - i hope your kid writes a disturbing, blame-filled song full of any mistakes, misteps, down points in your life and airs it out to the world!
I'd love to see how you'll react then, kelly. Karma's probably going to bite you in the ass for this one.

I think Kelly is unique she's gifted with her talent and we must all accept her for that...
Cheers everyone!!!
