I can see
You're slipping away from me
And you're so afraid
That 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 bare
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
But you'll never know darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry
I'm gonna be strong
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
But you'll never know darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry
You're slipping away from me
And you're so afraid
That 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 bare
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
But you'll never know darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry
I'm gonna be strong
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
But you'll never know darling
After you kiss me goodbye
How I'll break down and cry
