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 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 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 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
