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
Cos your pity now
would be too
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 can
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
