I've Gotta Be Strong...Right?

Since when have our feelings missed each other?
Your voice doesn't echo in my heart anymore
I pretended not to see the small wounds
Because I believed they'd someday disappear

The days we fooled around
And the nights we talked til dawn
The memories overspill
Colored with sighs

I've gotta be strong...right?
Not just pretending
Dependence and meekness
Are a little different
The pain gives color
And the loneliness is my strength
If I look sad, the happiness
Will get away

Words are so difficult
I can't even convey half of what I want to say
You understand me and I understand you
Maybe I was just assuming

Maybe I'll never be able
To see your smile again
Or to live the same moments with you
And share your pain

I've gotta be strong...right?
I can't always be afraid
Because I want to become
Someone who can walk on her own

I've gotta be strong...right?
Not just pretending
Dependence and meekness
Are a little different
The pain gives color
And the loneliness is my strength
If I cry until my tears dry up
Tomorrow will be blue skies
