"I'm Gonna' Be Strong"

Playing another song
Of how I can be strong
Dancing to the tunes
Of a love gone wrong
And I'm gonna' be strong
I'm gonna' pick up the pieces
Of my broken heart and move on
You weren't the first
You won't be the last
I'll take my love
And give it to one who loves me back
No more waiting for you
No more hurting for you
I'm completely through
I'm gonna' be strong
I'll smile at you
When you speak of the end
And no matter what
You'll never know how I'll cry
After we say good-bye.
