First couple of years you had me fooled
Your masquerade smile and phony tears
I really believed the games you played
But now you know I'm no one's fool
I am so strong
I'm feeling so strong
I will never cry for you, boy
No tears, no damn tears
This won't bring me down
I'm gonna carry on now
'Cause I'm so strong
It was make-believe it could not last
I'm learning that now as I erase the past
You made me stronger, you made me see
That I can live through anything
I am so strong
I'm feeling so strong
I will never cry for you, boy
No tears, no damn tears
This won't bring me down
I'm gonna carry on now
'Cause I'm so strong
I really believed you honestly cared
It seems I was wrong
And now I'm alone
I can't say I mind
I'm better off without
I've been so blind
I could not see that you were faking everything
So cold, I've felt so cold
But I won't let it bring me down
No tears, no damn tears
I'm gonna carry on now
'Cause I'm so strong
