Because Of You Lyrics

Cover art for Because Of You lyrics by Nickelback

I'm Kinda thinking it's about a girl who had an abortion and is suffering regret from it: "Now that you did this You ask for forgiveness Doctor could you be my priest?" She had the abortion and is asking for forgiveness. Her abortion doctor is her priest cause she would be ashamed to go to her priest about it.

Basically he is afraid she is going to take her own life because of the abortion she had and he's not gonna let it happen. Though he is definitely not happy with the fact that she did it either.

My Interpretation

@xtrole I agree, but I think the doctor who did the abortion feels some kind of attachment to the woman or feels like he has to help her somehow. Hence "I swore not to come but I'm here after all" This also explains the "I feel sorry for you/I'm here for you"---"This is because of you" switches throughout the song, she got the abortion but the doctor feels obliged to help her.
