Karaoké Because of You (duet) Kelly Clarkson & Reba McEntire

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

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk from the sidewalk

Because of you I learned to play on the safe side

Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt 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

Because of you

I am afraid

I lose my way and it's not too long before you

Before you point it out point it out

I cannot cry because I know that's weakness in your eyes

In your eyes

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

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk from the sidewalk

Because of you I learned to play on the safe side

Because of you I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt 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

Because of you

I am afraid

I watched you die

I heard you cry

I watched you die every night in your sleep in your sleep

I was so young you should have known

I was too young for you to lean on me better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else you never saw me 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 and not only me but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

Because of you

I am afraid

Because of you

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Because of you

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
