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   I'll let you go your way      Love is gone   There's no sense in holding on   And your pity now   Would be more than I could bare   So I'm gonna be strong   I'll pretend I don't care      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      When you say it's the end   I'll hand you a line, I'll smile and say   "Don't you worry, it's fine"   But you'll never know darling   After you kiss me goodbye   How I'll break down and cry      Cry   Cry   Cry
