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 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 that 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
|
Did you think I'd crumble
|
Did 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 will 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 (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
|
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
|
and 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
|
Did you think I'd crumble
|
Did 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 will 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
|
