First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
But then I oh spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

And now 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’ve made you leave your key
If I had known for just one sec 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
You think I'd [bad word] 
Did you think I'd lay down and die
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
And I'll survive
I will survive

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
But I spent oh so many nights feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

Now you see me, somebody new
I'm not that silly little girl who still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in you just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Just tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
But I spent oh so many nights feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

Now you see me, somebody new
I'm not that silly little girl who still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in you just expect me to be free
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

I will… I will survive
I will…  will will
