At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong And I learned how to get along
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 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 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 you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh 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 (hey-hey)
[MUSIC]
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 But now I hold my head up high
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
and now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving 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 break me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh 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
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 break me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I will stay alive
