I'm Gonna Be Strong (Original)

I'm Gonna Be Strong - Jackie DeShannon

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

I'm gonna be strong

And let you run along and take it

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
