"Not Strong Enough"

First let me say, I know it's late
Girl I could tell you were sleeping
So sorry to wake you,
But what Imma say to you tonight girl it just couldn't wait
No, not one more day
No, not one more hour
We've been apart for some time
You went your way I went mine
My manhood won't let me cry
But to act like I'm all right

It's something I just can't do
Keep pretending that I'm okay without you
I said its something I just can't do
What if I could I'm just not strong enough to
Not strong enough to
Keep lying to you
No I'm not strong enough to

I can see, you looking at me
You're thinking too little too late
'Cause it was me
That said that we shouldn't be
But that was before I could think straight
My pride it made me lie
To you and to myself about what I need
So now I, walk around with this lie

Truly dying inside, acting like I'm just fine

Its something I just can't do
Keep pretendeing that I'm okay without you
I said its something I just can't do
What if I could I'm just not strong enought to
No I'm not strong enough to
Keep lying to you
I'm not strong enough to

Said I'm trying to be honest
I'm making you a promise
I'm gonna be true to you
'Cause me tryin' to be not
Then without you I would die
Something I just can no longer do

Said I'm trying to be honest
I'm making you a promise
I'm gonna be true to you
Because me tryin' to be not
Then without you I would die
Something I just can no longer do
