Oh, 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 of you Did me wrong and I grew strong And I learned how to get along But now you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with a sad look upon your face I should've changed that stupid law I should've made you leave your key If I hang on for just one second You'll 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 break me with goodbyes? You think I'll crumble You think I'll lay down and die No, 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 I'll survive I will survive It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Can't try not to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent so many nights 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 Well now I'm saving all my loving For someone who's loving me Go now, go Walk out the door Just turn around now Cause you're not welcome anymore Once you're the one who tried to break me with goodbyes You think I'll crumble You think I'll lay down and die I'm not alive 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 I'll survive I will survive
