Reba McEntire, Kelly Clarkson - Because Of You lyrics

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 loose my way

I cannot cry

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

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 heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young
You should have known better than
To lean on me

You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain

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 find it hard to trust not
Only me but everyone around me

I am afraid

Because of you

M-m-m-mmm o-o-o ooh

Because of you

M-m-m-mmm o-o-o ooh
