At first I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side; But then I spent so many nights 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 feel like walkin' 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 Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Did I cry Oh no no no no no no no no, not I I will survive 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 will survive It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart, And so you feel like walkin' 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 Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Did I cry Oh no no no no no no no no, not I I will survive 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 will survive Go on now, go walk out the door Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I'd've known for just one f**ing 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 hurt me, who hurt me, who hurt me I will survive 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 will survive, I will survive. I will survive
