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 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 [bad word] anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd [bad word] Did you think I'd lay down and die

I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on survivin'

You thought I couldn't breathe without you I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you perfect vision
You thought I wouldn't last without you but I'm lasting
You thought that I would die without you but I'm living

You thought that I would fail without you but on top
You thought that it'd be over by now but it won't stop
You thought that I would self [bad word] but I'm still here
Even in my years [bad word] I'm still gon' be here

I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on survivin'

Oh no, not I. 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'll survive,
I will survive. Hey hey.

I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder
I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it
I will survive, keep on survivin'
