John Hamilton Poet Lyric

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

Paul Callus October 31, 2018 at 1:51 PM 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 John Hamilton November 1, 2018 at 9:21 AM Thanks Paul, I do appreciate your kind words and visit!

Chris Green October 29, 2018 at 5:16 PM 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. John Hamilton October 29, 2018 at 5:27 PM 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
