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
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back
from outta space
I just walked in
find you here with that sad
look upon your face
I should have
changed that 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 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
Think I'd crumble
Think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not i I'll survive
Oh 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
and I'll survive
I will survive Hey hey
It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the
pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feelin' 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 droppin' in
And just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my love in
for someone who's lovin' me
Go 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
Think I'd crumble
Think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not i I'll survive
Oh 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
and I'll survive
I will survive
Go now go walk out the door
Just turn around now
Cause you're not
welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who
