I will survive

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
I Kept' thinkin' I could never live without you by my side,
I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong,
I grew strong, and I learned how to get along...

And so your back, from other space,
Walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face,
I should've changed that fuckin' lock,
I should've 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,
Turn around now, you're not welcome anymore,
Weren't you the one who tried to fuck me with goodbye,
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die,
Oh 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!

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
Always 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, but now I hold my head up high,
And you'll see me, somebody new,
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,
and just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me,

Go now go, walk out the door,
Turn around now, cause' your not welcome anymore,
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye,
Did ya think I'd crumble?
Did ya think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I, I will survive,
For as long as I know how to love I know I'll feel alive,
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give,
And I'll survive, I will survive.
