I'M Not That Strong

I'm not that strong I see it in your eyes...that you're leaving I've noticed that... your smile has already gone In your mind... you must have stopped believing In a love that used to be so strong, I'm not the kind of man, that gives up easily I'm hoping that it's not just foolish pride, In my heart I'm stricken with a jealousy, A passion for you that burns deep inside Chorus I'm not as strong... as you believe So, you're on your way... just let me grieve... You tell me to move on...well, I'm not that strong You tell me to move on...well, I'm not that strong You always loved to be the main attraction You loved it with the spotlight just on you with my love, you got no satisfaction So tell me now...what am I supposed to do? I saw you hand in hand with your new love You seemed so happy walking next to him It hurts to know that my love wasn't enough And the chances you'll come home seem pretty slim Chorus I'm not as strong... as you believe So, you're on your way... just let me grieve... You tell me to move on...well, I'm not that strong You tell me to move on...well, I'm not that strong You tell me to move on...well, I'm not that strong You tell me to move on...well, I'm not that strong repeat and fade John Derek Hamilton October 29,2018

Enjoyed these smooth flowing lines, John. Sometimes it can be so hard to accept reality and move on; love can't just be switched on and off! Regards // paul

Very strong lyrics John, no pun intended. This has a nice flow to it and hopefully you'll record this and share it with us.

Thanks Chris I'm glad you like it, seems most of my lyrics are leaning to the country side of things, who knew? I grew up hating country music. As for doing the music...well you know how long these things take. Thx a lot, take care John
