I’m Gonna Be Strong

[Verse 1]
I can see
You're slippin' away from me
And you're so afraid
I'll plead with you to stay
But I'm gonna be strong
And let you go your way

[Verse 2]
Our love is gone
There's no sense in holding on
'Cause your pity now
Would be too much to bear
So I'm gonna be strong
And pretend I don't care

[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm gonna be strong
And stand just as tall as I can
Oh, I'm gonna be strong
And let you run along
And take it the best I can

[Verse 3]
And when you say, "It's the end"
I'll just hand you a line
I'll smile and say
"Don't you worry, I'm fine"
And you'll never know, darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry
