First I was afraid I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But I spent so many nights

thinking how you did me wrong

and I grew strong

I learned how to carry on

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 my 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 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

you think I'd crumble

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

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

kept trying hard to mendthe pieces of my broken heart

and I spent oh so many nights

just feeling sorry for myself

I used to cry 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 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

you think I'd crumble

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

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

you think I'd crumble

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

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

you think I'd crumble

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
