I Will Survive Lyrics

First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side

But I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong, 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 fucking 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 decide
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
