I've gotta be strong, I've gotta behave
I've gotta be stable but as much as I'm able
I don't know how long I can keep it up
You don't make it easy and my heart is freezing
I gotta know - how does it feel
to be on your own; are you able to heal
and how do you cope when you see me around
looking happy?
and I gotta know - do you ever feel bad
and wish you could go - wish that you could go back?
cause I am a mess and I need to hear that you still love me
I've gotta be strong, I've gotta behave
I've gotta be stable but as much as I'm able
I don't know how long I can keep it up
You don't make it easy and my heart is freezing
I don't know long I can keep this up
It's hard to be strong when it all just stops
and all we can do in this state of mind
is keeping busy
I wish I could stay but it's just not right
it's better this way when you're out of sight
and you gotta know that I'm fighting so hard
to let you go
I've gotta be strong, I've gotta behave
I've gotta be stable but as much as I'm able
I don't know how long I can keep it up
You don't make it easy and my heart is freezing
