I'm Gonna Be Strong

I can see you're slipping away from me and you're so afraid that I'll plead with you to stay but I'm gonna be strong. I'll let you go your way.

Love is gone and there's no sense in going on and your pity now would be more than I could bare so I'm gonna be strong. I'll pretend I don't care.

I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can. I'm gonna be strong and let you go along and take it like a man.

When you say it's the end, I'll hand you a line, I'll smile and say don't you worry, it's fine. And you'll never know, darling, after you kiss me good-bye how I break down and cry. Cry. Cry. Cry.
