Tired of Being Strong

baby, i know you’ve got problems, been a part of us for oh, so long!
your lyin and misbehavin, all the while trying to make me wrong.
i’ve tried all these years, to understand your fears, your pain and all that
you’ve been through…
as i walk out this door — all you want is more… but there’s nothing,
nothing i can do!!! cause i’m tired of being…
strong… it’s time to say goodbye… baby!
being strong… god knows how i’ve tried!
all this time, all these years… i’ve been holding back these tears,
i’m so tired of being strong
i’ve heard your many stories… the ones that made you hide inside!
the ones w/o the glory, cause you’ve let your past take all your pride.
as i turn to wave good-bye, i think i see him crying… it’s so sad knowing
that we’re through!
as i walk alone, away from my home — i’ve always known what’s true.
