At first I was
afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin'
I could never live
without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' 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'd've known
for just one second
you'd back to bother me
Go on now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I 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'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, hey hey
It took all the strength
I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend
the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feelin' 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 droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin'
all my lovin' for
someone who's lovin' me
Go on now go,
walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I 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'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, hey hey
