I Don't Wanna Be That Strong

Almost nothin' 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 feelin'

Of barely hangin' on

While my broken heart is healin'

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 strong

I don't wanna know that feelin'

Of barely hangin' on

While my broken heart is healin'

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
