Reba and Kelly- Because of You video

I love both of the artists. Love the original song- yet it doesn't seem right for a duet. All the same I like seeing the video.

The song reminds me of a family that I had in my room about a year ago. A young single mother who was going through a divorce with the father. She wasn't ready to let go and she made it difficult on herself, her estranged husband, and of course their daughter. She treated her daughter like a friend, and I think that this 4 year old heard and saw more than she should have. Every time I hear that song I think of her about fifteen years in the future, repeating her mother's life and mistakes. The part that really makes me think of it is this:

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


Anyway, there's more to the story, but that might give away who the family is and that's a big no-no for where I work. Confidentiality and all that jazz. I should be in bed already...
