First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live

without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong
And 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
as long as i know how to love
I know I will 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 mend
the 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
