At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how youd done me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along
And so youre back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face
I should have changed my fucking lock
I would have made you leave your key
If Id have known for just one second
Youd be back to bother me.
Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
Youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one
Who tried to break me with desire
Did you think Id crumble
Did you think Id lay down and die
Oh not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know Ill be alive
Ive got all my life to live
Ive got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart
Im 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 youll see me with somebody new
Im not that stupid little person
Still in love with you
And so you thought youd just drop by,
And you expect me to be free
But now Im saving all my lovin
For someone whos lovin me.
Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
Youre not welcome anymore
Werent you the one
Who tried to break me with desire
Did you think Id crumble
Did you think Id lay down and die
Oh not I
I will survive
As long as I know how to love
I know Ill be alive
Ive got all my life to live
Ive got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
