Lyrics

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
