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
Boy, 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 I, I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
I will survive,
Give me the strength I had not to fall apart
Just 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 (see me), somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person still swept for you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Oh no, 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
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no
Oh, no, not I will survive
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
ย
I will, I will
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I'm not gonna stop
I'm growing stronger
I'm a survivor
I'm gonna make it
I'm not gonna stop
I'm growing stronger
I'm a survivor
I'm not gone give up
I'm not gone stop
I'm gone work harder
Are you listening?
Now you know it took all og the strength I had not to fall apart
I kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
But I will survive
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
And 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'll see me, somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person
Still in love with you
And so you felt like droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me
Get your step in
Keep it moving
Get on down the road
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye
Do you think I'd crumble
Do you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, oh no
I will survive
For as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I'll survive, I'll survive
Hey, hey
