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
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learn 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
should changed that stupid lock
should made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second
you'd 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 I think crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
I am not and died
I will survive
For 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
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
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 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
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I I will survive
For 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
yeah yeah
