Dedicated to my mom for showing me how much addiction impacts the lives of the people who love you. For showing me what not to do as a mother and an adult. R.I.P momma 1977-2015💔
2006, 2007, and 2008 were some of the last great years of Country Music. Carrie Underwood was starting to get somewhere, Brad Paisley was winning CMA awards for Male Vocalist, Taylor Swift was just starting to be recognized by both fans of country and pop, Josh Turner was making it big with hits like, "Your Man," "Firecracker," and "Would You Go With Me," George Strait was winning Single of the Year and Album of the Year awards for his albums, "It Just Comes Natural," and, "Troubadour," and although we were starting to see the last of Brooks and Dunn, we met Sugarland. It was a pretty great time for country music.
This song applies to so many areas in my life it’s not even funny this song has helped me through a lot in my life and it continues too especially when I feel hurt on the inside there are holes in my heart that are unmendable and cannot be taken up by no one else 💔
This is a song that points out my life. When someone i care so much about leaves my life and moves away or dies. This song just seems to just speak for me when i can't. When i was little though, this song would play on the FM radio before we got a truck with sirius xm and i'd almost cry. I was one sensitive little kid.
This Song Literally Tells The Truth Of My Entire Life, From The Physical, Verbal & Mental Abuse, To The Bullies & What I Go Through Everyday Finding My Way.
my ex. showed me just how strong I really am!!! I'm not a survivor I am triumphant!! that's what I can thank him for.. even with facial surgery I am strong.. for anyone out there you can be triumph and have a better life.. remember they no longer "get to control" your life anymore!!!! be strong and happy with who you are!!!!!
I feel like this song is about my family Each different "because of you" is a different family member, then the combination of abuse and no one protecting me... I am in Fight or Flight mode every second of every day.. and around and around.. Just wanna go home to Heaven With GOD and JESUS.
i tear up everytime i hear/listen to this song. it makes one think of how life could have been different. but one must be strong and things will work out ...... when friends are there to help.
To my mother, thank You JESUS for setting me free. She had me in her cage of manipulation, abuse, hatred and lies until I was 36 years old. Finally, I stopped being guilted into believing I HAD to accept and love. NO. We must forgive ourselves for blaming ourselves and move on.
My mom and I are both domestic violence survivors. I'm sex abuse survivor and survived a few other crimes done too me. Dedication too my mom and law enforcement on many jobs well done. You made me strong, reliable, law biding and independent. The women I am today credit too my aunts and uncles for showing me what a real marriage is all about. I'm a wife now five years Yahoo!!!

I can relate to this song and it's painful to listen but it reminds me of my demons and my inner battles. I sing this with a heavy heart but I sing it for the meaning.
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 (Chorus) 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 (Verse 2) I lose my way And it's not too 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 everyday of my life My heart can't possibly break When it wasn't even whole to start with (Chorus) 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 (Verse 3) I watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep (I watched you die in your 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 saw your pain (You never saw me) And now I cry in the middle of the night For the same damn thing (Chorus) 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 (Outro) Because of you (2x)
This song reminds me of my previous relationship w my kids father n how he used to be emotionally, physically n verbally abusive to me in front of my kids . When I left him 13 yrs ago I promised myself I'd never let a man or anyone treat me that way again .
in truth i actually do agree with you on this Reba has been a great inspiration on my life as has Miss Kelly clarkson and 2 other bands "Metallica and Black veil brides" i think one more singer as well Nicole Scherzinger idk if i spelled her last name right but yea i love this song i play it allot on my guitar and sing it with my sister because it reminds us of our past and what we do every day.
+George Cawhern It damn sure can feel like that. I know exactly what your doing through. I can tell you that you WILL get past this. the heart will heal. One day, some sweet voice will say HIGH! and you'll realize she's talking to you. you'll feel that trip hammer smack your chest a couple of times. OPEN you mouth and say HI right back atcha and SMILE. LOVE springs erernal. remember this, the best reveange is a well lived life. she'll see or hear you're happy and she'll hate it. Been there done that. too many times. give yourself time, and get to like the man that looks back at you in the mirror. you'll find out he's a pretty good guy. trust me. You'll be fine. just don't let yourself fall too far into the bottle. It killed my son. don't let it kill you. a couple beers, some good cry in your beer music, some slow dances with a real sweet honey and you're back on top. \/ peace.
TO mother. We were not close we never will be. Growing up since i was 10 I told myself i would never become the person you are. And i think i am suceeding in that way.. but I have so scared to love people care about and trust people... because of you i hurt day and night because the decisions you made i can understand those fears you had but i needed a mother to love me... and care about me... what i cant understand is to why your own blood......
Dedicated to my mom for showing me how much addiction impacts the lives of the people who love you. For showing me what not to do as a mother and an adult. R.I.P momma 1977-2015💔
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤
This song doesn't just apply to relationships... Lets just say this song applies to my whole life!
I feel you there.

Because of you reba and kelly i find it hard to trust not only me , but everyone around me.
Reminds me of when my parents were going through their heated arguments before the divorce. Now i'm stronger and i rely on myself for comfort.
Love this song, and Reba singing it makes it better!!!
This makes me remember my great grandmother. I'm only ten this song makes me cry cause I miss her so much
my ex. showed me just how strong I really am!!! I'm not a survivor I am triumphant!! that's what I can thank him for.. even with facial surgery I am strong.. for anyone out there you can be triumph and have a better life.. remember they no longer "get to control" your life anymore!!!! be strong and happy with who you are!!!!!
Tanya Minton preach it!!!
My mother taught me fear. My Holy Father taught me faith and took away my fear.
i lived thru this for 10 years until i said it was enough , this song makes me cry all the time. you never forget :(
and now i cry in the middle of the night for the same danm thing
I love Reba's voice😍😍😍😍
I sang this song to my grandmother and she loved how I sang it then I showed her the lyrics and she was so proud of me!
wow.. reba rocks this song up..
rocks it up; dont think so thats country
Jeanjess Martens actuall your both wrong because kelly clarkston wrote this and she's r&b
it's gust to I can't even say it it makes me cry
I already broke
Ya see does she is my favorite singer
This decribes me and my mom, She will always be there for me even though i think she doesn't care about me she realy does!!! I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
I love all three versions of this song! I mean, how can you chose?!
It's just so beautiful! I love it & how their voices sound together.
Yessssuh!
y'all have a beautiful voices together
I feel like this song is about my family
Each different "because of you" is a different family member, then the combination of abuse and no one protecting me... I am in Fight or Flight mode every second of every day.. and around and around.. Just wanna go home to Heaven With GOD and JESUS.
Love Kelly Clarkson but my girl Reba ate this song UP!!!!
This song remnds me of my grandmother. This was her favorite singer! She passed away a little while ago
This song is perfect when taking about the relationship between me and my father.
I was so young you should've known better than to lean on me, you never though of anyone else and you just saw your pain.....
i tear up everytime i hear/listen to this song. it makes one think of how life could have been different. but one must be strong and things will work out ...... when friends are there to help.
I should totally sing this I luv it but it's sad
This makes me think about my mom and how my dad was verbally abusive and how when stuff went wrong she always leaned on me for support
Good times with listing to this song....
This was actually the first version of the song I heard. And it's my favorite. I still like Kelly Clarkson's original though.
I'm not a fan of country music but I LOVE Reba Mcentire's songs
Reba and Dolly are the best country artists and no one can change my mind
This should be a mandatory song for all young women (or others!) who are in a relationship! Get the hell out of it! Save your self. He's not worth it!
One of THE BEST all time songs out there! Thanks for the lyric video!
im a diehard reba mccentire fan
To my mother, thank You JESUS for setting me free. She had me in her cage of manipulation, abuse, hatred and lies until I was 36 years old. Finally, I stopped being guilted into believing I HAD to accept and love. NO. We must forgive ourselves for blaming ourselves and move on.
This Song Is So Personal For Me, Every Word Says Every Thing I Truly Feel. Words I Could Never Say, This Song Is Me.
My mom and I are both domestic violence survivors. I'm sex abuse survivor and survived a few other crimes done too me. Dedication too my mom and law enforcement on many jobs well done.

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
(Chorus)
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
(Verse 2)
I lose my way
And it's not too 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 everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
(Chorus)
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
(Verse 3)
I watched you die, I heard you cry every night in your sleep
(I watched you die in your 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 saw your pain
(You never saw me)
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
(Chorus)
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
(Outro)
Because of you (2x)
she pretty talented :)
