I can see you're slipping away from me
 And you're so afraid I'll plead with you to stay 
I'm gonna be strong I'll let you go your way Love is gone there's no sense in holding on
 And your pity now would be than I could bare I'm gonna be strong I'll pretend that I don't care I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can

I'm gonna be strong and let you run 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 I'm fine
 And you'll never know darling after you kiss me goodby e
How I'll break down and cry cry cry
