"I have to live here because of some reason."

"I have to live here because of some reason."

Is the phrase because of some reason natural to native English speakers?

I feel like the word reason is not used with because of and if they are not used together, is there a natural expression for the same meaning?

Thank you so much as usual in advance.

I agree with you that "because of some reason" is not natural English. The entire phrase is a bit weird, though. You have a reason that you don't want to reveal?

"There is a reason I have to live here" might be your better choice.
Or maybe "I have to live here for reasons I'd rather not discuss."

Hans51I have to live here because of for some reason.
As shown. Also, For some reason, I have to live here.

The sentence gives the impression that you have no control over where you live. You were made to live there, but you don't know why.
