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
