Intro: Almost nothing shakes me 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 But I don't wanna be that strong 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 the hurt is gone I could make it on my own N.C. But I don't wanna be that strong INTERLUDE: I could hold my head up I could keep the tears inside for awhile Fill the anxious days Somehow face the lonely nights for awhile When I need to, I could even force a smile But I don't wanna be that strong 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 the hurt is gone I could make it on my own N.C. But I don't wanna be that strong
