Almost nothing shakes me.

I'll admit tonight i'm scared, scared to death.

All this talk of leavin',

Walkin' away from love we've shared takes my breath.

I could find the strength within myself.



But i don't wanna be that strong.

I don't wanna know that feeling,

Of barely hangin on while my broken heart is healing.

I know the hands of time would hold me until all the hurt is gone.

I could make it on my own,

But i don't wanna be that strong.



I could hold my head up.

I could keep the tears inside for a while.

Fill the anxious days.

Somehow face the lonely nights for a while.

When I need to I could even force a smile.



But i don't wanna be that srong.

I don't wanna know that feeling,

Of barely hanging on while my broken heart is healing.

I know the hands of time would hold me until all my hurt is gone.

I could make it on my own,

But I don't wanna be that strong.
