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 I'm 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'd have known for just one second you'd be back for me Oh 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? Do you think I crumble? Do you think I lay down and die? Oh no not I, I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give I'll survive, I will survive Hey, hey, hey It took all the steps I had not to fall apart That giant heart 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 Somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you And so it felt like dropping in and just to let me to be free But now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me Oh now go, walk out the door Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? Just like rumbles, just like lay down and die Oh no, no, no, I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give I'll survive, I will survive Oh, oh, oh Oh now go, walk out the door Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? Just like rumbles, just like lay down and die Oh no, no, no, I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give I'll survive, I will survive I will survive I will survive
