Teksty: Patty Loveless. 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
