I will stand strong won’t say goodbye
Not here not now I cannot cry.
Cannot be weak, can’t fall apart
I will not show my broken heart.
Empty, dying, lost in grief
I listen to words holding no relief.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong but just for now
A little while I will allow,
But later when I’m on my own
I’ll break at being left alone.
There’ll be no stopping once I start
I’ll fade each day that we’re apart.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong I will not weep
Will not show my wound so deep -
I’ll take care of you kid – a promise spoken
But I couldn’t save you – my promise broken.
For breaking that promise I cannot atone
My punishment dealt - I’ll be alone.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong pretend I’m fine
Not let on that you were mine.
Even now they would not agree
Would not look beyond contempt to see
Our love and passion, our life, our plans
No they would never understand.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong won’t show I’m scared
Won’t show them just how much I cared.
How could I explain what you did for me?
How you unlocked and set me free -
To love to live to be much more
Than anything I’d been before.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong I will stand tall
I will no let them see me fall
I’ll play the forced role of another
The one they wanted your big brother.
But once it’s over, alone I’ll cry
Alone I’ll grieve, alone I’ll die.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I cannot stand no longer brave
As I watch you laid into your grave.
I need your strength, your love, your touch
Kid I miss you so damn much.
My heart, my soul accept defeat
I’m left in darkness, incomplete.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I cannot stand it’s just not fair
It’s all too much for me to bear.
I wish to God this wasn’t real
Because I know I’ll never heal.
How am I supposed to cope?
Without you here, there is no hope.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I cannot stand I want to die
Something my healing will deny
You gave me peace, you soothed my soul
But now you’re gone I’ve no control
I’ll bide my time, have to sit and wait
Till finally death becomes my fate
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I cannot stand and can’t pretend
This is anything but the end.
I loved you and I will forever
Something they couldn’t change or sever.
Fuck ‘em all I won’t forget
And never will I feel regret.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I cannot stand can’t hide my fears
No longer can I stop these tears.
My pain to great to hide from them
The truth revealed their looks condemn.
No more hiding no more lying
Let them see how much I’m dying.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I cannot stand but through my grief
I hear their cries of disbelief.
I won’t believe it wasn’t right
Such flames in me you did ignite
I’ve had enough their protest ended
As I stand up with blades extended.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong despite their hate
It’s way past time to set them straight.
I loved you so damn much still do
My life now empty without you.
I know they’ll never comprehend
But my love for you I will defend.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong, I will reveal
Just how much you made me feel.
How much love you did display
How honoured I felt everyday
How much I was in love with you
Tell all the things they never knew.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong I will explain
How loosing you has caused such pain.
How much I’ll die, how much I’ll grieve
How in my heart you’ll never leave.
How much I’ve lost, how much I’ve cried
How broken now I am inside.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I will stand strong because I’m proud
Of what we shared and what we vowed.
I’ll tell them as I show my hand
Sunlight glistening on my wedding band.
Watch comprehension sink right in
And a measure of acceptance start to begin.
