At first I was afraid, I was petrified
thinking I couldn't live without you by my side.
And after spending nights thinking how you did me wrong,
I grew strong and I learned how to get along.
Now you're back
from outer space
and I find you here with that sad look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid lock or made you leave your key.
If I'd have known for a second you'd be back to bother me.
Go on, go.
Walk out the door.
Turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye.
Think I'd crumble.
You'd think I'd lay down and die.
No, not at all.
As long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive.
I've got my life to live and all my love to give and I will survive.
I will survive.
I took all my strength not to fall apart.
Trying with all my might to mend my broken heart.
I spent so many nights feeling sorry for myself how I cried.
But now I hold my head high and you see me.
Somebody new.
Not that lonely little person still in love with you.
Now you come dropping in expecting me to be free.
Now I'm saving my loving for someone who's loving me.
Go on, go.
Walk out the door.
Turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye.
Think I'd crumble.
You'd think I'd lay down and die.
No, not at all.
I will survive.
As long as I know how to love,
I know I'll stay alive.
I've got my life to live.
And all my love to give and I will survive.
I will survive.
Go on, go.
Walk out the door.
Turn around now.
You're not welcome anymore.
