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 shoulda changed that stupid lock, 
I shoulda 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, 
And I've got all my love to give, 
I'll survive, I will survive! 

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' 
I will survive.
