At first I was afraid, I was petrified, thinking I couldn't live without you by my side. And after spending nights thinking how you did me wrong, I grew strong, and I learned how to get along. Now you're back from outer space, and I find you here with that sad look upon your face. I should have changed that stupid lock, or made you leave your key. If I'd have known for a second you'd be back to bother me. Go on, go, walk out the door, turn around now, you're not welcome anymore. You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyes. You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die. I know not how I will survive. Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive. I've got my life to live, and all my love to give, and I will survive. I, I, I will survive. It took all my strength not to fall apart, trying with all my might to mend my broken heart. I've spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself, how I cried. But now I hold my head high, and you see me, somebody new. Not that lonely little person still in love with you. Now you come dropping in, expecting me to be free. Now I'm saving my loving for someone who's loving me. Go on, go, walk out the door, turn around now, you're not welcome anymore. You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyes. You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die. I know not how I will survive. Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive. I've got my life to live, and all my love to give, and I will survive. I, I, I will survive. Go on, go, walk out the door, turn around now, you're not welcome anymore. You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyes. You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die. I know not how I will survive. Long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive. I've got my life to live, and all my love to give, and I will survive. I, I, I will survive. Well, you took all my strength not to fall apart. Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart. I've spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself, how I cried. Now I hold my head up high and you see me, somebody new. Not that lonely little person still in love with you. Now you come dropping in, expecting me to be free. But I'm saving my loving for someone who's loving me. Go on, go, walk out the door, turn around now, you're not welcome anymore.
