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
Thinkin' 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 look
upon your face
I should have changed
that stupid lock
should have 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 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.
Hey hey.
It took all
the strength
I had not
to fall apart
just 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
Did I 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
I'll survive
I will survive.
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 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
