I can see, that 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,
I'll let you go your way

Love is gone, there's no sense in going on
and your pity now, would be more than I could bear
But I'm gonna be strong,
I'll pretend I don't care

But I'm gonna be strong ,
and stand as tall as I can
I'm gonna be strong,
and let you go along,
and take it like a man

and in the end, I'll hand you a line,
oh, I'll smile and say, Don't you worry, it's fine.
But you'll never know darling,
after I kiss you goodbye....I will break down and cry...
