At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
and I grew strong and I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
go on now go walk out the door just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
did you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die
I'm a survivor
I'm not goin' give up
I'm not goin' stop
I'm goin' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry now but I hold my head up high
I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
yeah ah ha yeah
Thought I couldn't breathe without you I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without you But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now But it won't stop
Thought that I would self destruct But I'm still here
Even in my years to come I'm still goin' be here
I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop
I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
Oh no, not I I will survive
oh as long as i know how to love, I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live (I'm a survivor)
I've got all my love to give ( survivor)
