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 shouldve changed that stupid lock,
I shouldve made you leave your key!
If I had known for just one second
Youd back to bother me.
Go on now go, walk out the door
And just turn around now,
Cause youre not welcome anymore.
Werent you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think Id crumble,
Did you think Id lay down and die.
Oh no not I,
I will survive.
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know Ill stay alive,
I got all my life to live,
I got all my love to give
And Ill survive,
Not to fall apart.
I kept trying to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
I spent 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,
Im 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 Im savin all my lovin
for someone whos lovin me.
Go on now go, walk out the door
And just turn around now,
Cause youre not welcome anymore.
Werent you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think Id crumble,
Did you think Id lay down and die.
Oh no not I,
I will survive.
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know Ill stay alive,
Ive got all my life to live,
Ive got all my love to give
And Ill survive,
I will survive!
