I can't be afraid, it's mind over matter
I can't live a lie anymore
Conquer my fear and write this letter
Gotta let you know how I feel

But how do I tell you this love is over
That I don't mean to hurt you
Leave you without shelter

We can't go on, the flame is gone

Got to be strong
Got to be strong
I gotta let you know
Got to be strong
Got to be strong
Got to let you go

Must have faith in time the healer
You're gonna be alright wait and see
It's all for the best to rearrange the future
We're different kinds you and me

It's killing me to tell you that we can't be together
'Cos everyday you tell me
You're gonna love me forever

We can't go on, the flame is gone

Got to be strong
Got to be strong
Got to let you know
Got to be strong
Got to be strong
Got to let you go
