At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then 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 feel like walkin' in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' 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 hurt me with goodbye
Did I cry
Oh no no no no no no no no, not I
I will survive 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 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 so you feel like walkin' in
And just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' 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 hurt me with goodbye
Did I cry
Oh no no no no no no no no, not I
I will survive 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 will survive
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one fucking 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 hurt me, who hurt me, who hurt me
I will survive 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 will survive,
I will survive I will survive
