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 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

 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
