[单曲]超喜欢的一首歌 Because 1 of you
歌手：Kelly Clarkson 专辑：Breakaway
Kelly Clarkson，1982年4月24日出生在德克萨斯州的Burleson，在成为歌手之前，Kelly Clarkson最大的愿望是能够成为一名海洋生物学家，Kelly Clarkson唱歌的天赋在她上7年级的时候就被当时学校的合唱队领队所发现，于是Kelly就加入了学校的唱诗班，高中时Kelly把大部分的时光都用在了唱歌上，同时由于在音乐剧《Brigadoon》中的演出，而成为了德克萨斯州立唱诗班中的一员。在之后Kelly遇到了挫折，唱片公司连一张试音唱片都不愿为她出，更不要说签约了。于是Kelly决定去洛杉矶碰碰运气。
在那里，她参加了著名音乐创作人Gerry Goffin的录音工作，但是随后Gerry Goffin的生病，使她再次失去了机会，这还不是最遭的。不久她的房子着了火，而她的汽车也被警局拖走，Kelly的精神和经济都受到了极大的打击。终于，在好友Jessica的鼓励下，Kelly参加了American Idol大赛，2002年9月4日对于她来说是一个值得纪念的日子，Kelly获得了American Idol的冠军，随后她的事业发展顺利，2003年4月15日首张录音室专辑《Thankful》发表，首周即登顶排行榜冠军，并且创下了双白金的销量。2004年11月30日，Kelly Clarkson的第二张专辑《Breakaway》成功发行。(CatCobain)
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
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
Because of you
Because of you I am afraid
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
