Reba McEntire - Because Of You

Lyrics to Because Of You by Reba McEntire  

(feat. Kelly Clarkson) [Reba:] 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 [Reba & Kelly:] 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 [Reba:] Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me [Reba & Kelly:] Because of you I am afraid [Kelly:] I loose my way And it's not too long (before you point it out)[Reba & Kelly] I cannot cry Because I know that's weakness [in your eyes][Reba & Kelly] I'm forced to fake A smile, a laugh everyday of my life My heart can't possibly break When it wasn't even whole to start with [Reba & Kelly:] 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 [Reba:] Because of you I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me [Reba & Kelly:] Because of you I am afraid [Reba:] I watched you die I heard you cry every night in your sleep (I watched you die...)[Kelly] I was so young You should have known better than to lean on me (I was too young for you to lean on me...)[Kelly] You never thought of anyone else You just saw your pain (You never saw me...)[Kelly] And now I cry in the middle of the night For the same damn thing [Reba:] 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 [Reba & Kelly] I am afraid [Reba:] Because of you... [Kelly:] Mmmmmm... Oooooh... [Reba:] Because of you... [Kelly:] Mmmmmm... Oooooh...
