Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent, oh, so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
[Verse 2]
And now you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face
I should've changed that stupid lock
I should've made you leave your key
If I' have known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
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 got all my love to give
And I will survive
I will survive, hey hey
[Verse 5]
Well, it took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent, oh, so many nights
Just thinking how you did me wrong
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 now 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
[Verse 6]
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 break me with goodbye?
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
[Verse 7]
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 will survive
I will survive, ho-oh
[Verse 8]
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?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
[Verse 9]
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
And I've got all my love to give
And I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
