Just For Awhile

How much can a man take?

How much pain before a heart can break?

I placed my life into your hands, but now....

....I've got to change my plans.

Just for a while,

I'm going to hold back my tears,

open my ears to my heart;

and baby, just for a while,

I'm going to be someone strong,

keep walking on without you.

That's what I'll do.

How much can man cry?

What does it take before he sees the light?

My body was weak for your touch, but now...

...it hurts too much.

Baby, just for a while,

I'm going to hold back my tears,

open my ears to my heart;

and baby, just for a while,

I'm going to be someone strong,

keep walking on without you.

That's what I'll do.

I thought being second was how it should be.

It took me losing you to find me.

I'm better off all by myself...

...than living with you in a shell.

Just for a little while,

I'm going to hold back my tears,

open my ears to my heart;

and baby, just for a little while,

I'm going to be someone strong,

keep walking on without you.

That's what I'll do
