Because Of You (Kelly Clarkson) Lyrics

Reba:
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I wil not break
The way you did, you fell so hard
I've learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Chorus:
(Both)
Because of you, I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you, I learned to play on the safe side so I dont get hurt
(Reba)
Because of you, I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
(Both)
Because of you, I am afraid

Kelly:
I lose my way and it's not 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

Repeat Chorus

Reba: (kelly in background)
I watched you die, I heard you cry (i watched you die)
Every night in your sleep (in you sleep)
I was so young, you should have known better than to lean on me (i was too young for you to lean on me)
You never thought of anyone else, you just say your pain (you never saw me)
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For that same damn thing

Chorus:
(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 dont get hurt
Because of you, I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me
(Both)
Because of you, I am afraid

Reba:
Because of you x2
