I was a âdaddyâs girlâ, growing up in the 60âs-70âs. Everytime my mom and dad had a fight, I saw my dad getting his keys, and my little 6 (to 12) year old self would run outside and climb in the car ahead of my dad. Heâd get in, look at me, and say âas long as youâre quietâ and allow me to ride along, where heâd get a coffee and order me a chocolate milk. I saw him simmer down, become calm, and after a bit weâd go home.
My mom, God Bless her in her pain, would snap at me, saying I was âtaking sidesâ.
I was able to tell her, some years later before she passed (rather suddenly) from pancreatic cancer:
Mom. I wasnât taking dadâs side. I just wanted to be with him to make sure HE CAME HOME.
This song encapsulates so many memories, so much painâŚ

Some day I'll stumble upon this song again, and I won't have this anger anymore. I'd have forgiven, moved on, be happy. This song would be familiar in tune, I might remember the lyrics vaguely and then mumble along, I would know with my mind that it was very painful as I related it, but I won't feel it anymore. Thank you for this song, Kelly Clarkson. To everyone going through similar pains, may we get through this as quickly as possible and come out the other side not too hurt that we've lost ourselves completely. God loves us.

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
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
I was so young (and you're so young)
You should have known better (I was too young for you)
Than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain (you never saw me)
And now 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
Because of you

She wrote this when she was 16. Very powerful song to be written at any age, let alone as a teenager. I think sometimes we forget just how good a writer Kelly is. Sometimes her songwriting gets over shadowed by her unbelievably beautiful voice. We all have our own opinions about music, but for me Kelly is the best singer I've ever heard.

To all the parents who suffered from the world , could never stand up to themselves and made their kids their emotional punching bag and taught their child never to trust the world , to never trust anyone , to never feel any emotion . To treat them like theyre weak for having emotional needs. To never even feel human.
To all the emotionally Stunted children who cant even process basic feelings without fully having a mental and emotional breakdown . Who can never trust anyone ever fully . Who can never maintain relations in their life , without being Paranoid, bitter and ultimately losing it.
This Song is for you.

This song definitely reminds me of my mom. The lyrics express my life so much growing up, how much I needed her to just notice me but she never did. She neglected me for years, despite me doing EVERYTHING for her. And now, I feel so scared and empty in life. And it's because of my mom, that I've become so sympathetic and understanding...but also so vulnerable and easy to hurt.
Thankfully, I do have a very loving boyfriend who's been filling that hole in my heart that my mom created so long ago. But it's still hard most days, remembering her neglect and how she warped my brain to the point I couldn't be 'normal' for a very long time.

To everyone who survived narcissistic or abusive parents I'm glad you're here today and I hope you never give up trying to be happy. It can be so much harder than some people will ever understand but you are strong and you have been through things nobody deserves to deal with. My heart goes out to you. đ
I hope you can break the cycle. And that having a bad childhood doesn't have to define your whole life because you can be happy. You've already come so far. And if you're not ok... that's ok. đ
