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 how you did me wrong.
And I grew strong.
And I learned how to get along.
And so you're back from outa s***e.
I just walked in to find you here
With that sad look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid look.
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back for 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?
Did you think I crumble?
Did you think I lay down and die?
No, no not I
I will survive.
For 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
hey hey hey
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart.
Kept trying hard to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent also many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself.
I used to cry.
But now I hold my head up high.
And you'll see me
Somebody new.
I'm not that chained-up little person
Who is still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free.
And now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' 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 break me with goodbye?
Did you think I crumble?
Did you think I lay down and die?
Oh no not I.
I will survive.
As long as I know how to love
I know I'll be alive.
I've got all my life to live.
I've got all my love to give.
I will survive.
I will survive.
Oh! 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?
Did you think I crumble?
Did you think I lay down and die?
