I can see you're slipping 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 being now would be too much to bear But I'm gonna be strong and pretend I don't care I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I am Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along And take it like a man There's no sense in holding on
'Cause your being now would be too much to bear But I'm gonna be strong and pretend I don't care I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I am Yes, 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 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
