First I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
and I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
and so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be 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
you think I'd crumble
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
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mendthe pieces of my broken heart
and I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry 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 felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving 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'd crumble
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
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'd crumble
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
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'd crumble
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
