At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking 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 youre back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
youd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door
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 I will stay alive
Ive got all my life to live
Ive got all my love to give
and Ill survive
I will survive (hey-hey)
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
Im not that chained up little person
still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
and now Im saving all my loving
for someone whos loving me
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
cause youre not welcome anymore
werent you the one who tried to break 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 I will stay alive
Ive got all my life to live
Ive got all my love to give
and Ill survive
I will survive
