I’m Gonna Be Strong

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
