I'm Gonna Be Strong
Embracing Strength in Heartbreak: I'm Gonna Be Strong by Juice Newton
Lyrics
I can see
I perceive
You're slipping away from me
You're gradually moving away from me
And you're so afraid
And you're filled with fear
That I'll plead with you to stay
That I'll beg you to stay
But I'm gonna be strong
But I will remain resilient
And let you go your way
And allow you to follow your path
Love is gone
Love has faded
There's no sense in holding on
There's no logic in clinging to it
And your pity now
Your compassion now
Would be more than I could bare
Would be too much for me to bear
But I'm gonna be strong
Yet I will remain steadfast
And pretend I don't care
And feign indifference
I'm gonna be strong
I will be resolute
And stand as tall as I can
And stand as tall as possible
I'm gonna be strong
I will persist in being strong
And let you go along
And allow you to move on
And take it like a man
Accepting it with fortitude
When you say it's the end
When you declare it's the conclusion
I'll hand you a line
I'll provide you with a response
I'll smile and say
I'll smile and convey
Don't you worry I'm fine
Don't worry, I'm doing well
But you'll never know darling
But you'll never comprehend, darling
After you kiss me goodbye
After you bid me farewell with a kiss
How I'll break down and cry
How I will collapse and weep
