I'm Gonna Be Strong lyrics

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 'cause 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 eye-eye-eye
