金曲 | Because Of You : 因为你
诉说自己的心情
Because Of You was written by a 16 year old Kelly as a reflection of the impact her parents’ divorce had on her when she was 6. Due to the experience, she becomes more conscious and careful not to let herself commit similar mistakes and suffer the way her parents did. She believes she has learnt a lot of lessons from her childhood events and as such will be mindful to keep herself from being hurt. She also confesses the negative implications of the divorce which is that she is unable to trust other people because she is scared they might break her heart.
The singer recalls her childhood as a tough one where she could not even be emotional as a child because she did not want to hurt the only parent she was living with. She further describes that though she still feels hurt, she has had to put on fake smiles for years just to get by.
