At first I was afraid, I was petrified
I kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then 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've changed that stupid lock
I should've made you leave your key!
If I had known for just one second
You'd back to bother me
Go on now go, walk out the door
And 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
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I got all my life to live
I got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive!
It took all the strength i had
Not to fall apart
I kept trying out to mend the pieces of my broken heart
I spent oh so all many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me
Somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me
Go on now go, walk out the door
And 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
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I
I will survive
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive!
