i don't wanna be that strong lyrics

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
