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 pity now, would be to much to bear

 So 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
