Melanie - I Will Survive lyrics

Time goes by the inch and I work it by the mile I'm gonna have to go much faster if I'm gonna get there I loved you with abandon, I was careless with my life I'm gonna have to lose this heartache if I'm gonna get there If I'm gonna get there At first I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live Without you by my side And then I spent so many night Thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to carry on And now your back from outer space I just walked in to find you here With that sad look upon your face I should've changed the lock Should have made you leave your key If I'd thought for just one minute You'd be back to bother me Alright now go Walk out the door Don't hang around now You're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one Who tried to hurt me with goodbyes Did I stumble? Did I break down and cry? Oh no, not I I will survive Just as long as I have heart enough You know I'll say alive I've got all my love to live I've got all my life to give I will survive I will survive It took all the strength I had Not to fall apart Just trying hard to mend The pieces of my broken heart 'Cause I spent too many night Just feelin' sorry for myself I used to cry But now I hold my head up high If you see me With someone new I'm not that timid little person Whose still in love with you So you felt like dropin' in And you expect me to be free But I'm savin' all my lovin' For someone whose lovin' me Alright now go Walk out the door Don't hang around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one Who tried to break me with your lies Did I stumble? Did I break down and die? Oh no, not I I will survive As long as I have heart enough You know I'll say alive I got all my love to live I've got all my life to give I will survive I will survive Did you think I breakdown and die? Or crumble, I will survive Did you think I breakdown or crumble? I will survive Did you think I breakdown and die? I will survive
