I don't wanna be that strong

Almost nothing shakes me
But I'll admit tonight I'm scared
Scared to death
All this talk of leaving
Walking away from love we've shared
Takes my breath
I could find the strength within myself

CHORUS:
But I don't wanna be that strong
I don't want to know that feeling
Of barely hanging on
While my broken heart is healing
I know the hands of time
Would hold me until all the hurt is gone
I know 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
And somehow face the lonely nights
For a while
And when I need to I could even force a smile

CHORUS

I know I could make it on my own
But I don't wanna be that strong
