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 outta 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 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
Think I'd crumble?
Think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I'll survive
Oh as long as I know
how to love I know I'll be 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
Now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me
Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried
to break me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I'll survive
Oh as long as I know
how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, oh -
Go now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried
to break me with goodbye
Think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no not I, I'll survive
Oh as long as I know
