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
Feeling sorry about myself, I used to cry
But 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 feel like walking in and just expect to be free
Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around, cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did I cry? Oh no, not I
I will survive, 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 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 so you feel like walkin' in and just expect me to be free
Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around, cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did I cry? Oh no, not I
I will survive, 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 will survive

Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd known for just one fucking 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 hurt me, who hurt me, who hurt me?
I will survive, 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 love
I've got all my love to give and I will survive
I will survive, I will survive
