{Verse One}
First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
(5)
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
(5)
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
{Chorus}
Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
(5)
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
(5)
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive, I will survive

{Verse Two}
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
(5)
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
(5)
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
{Repeat Chorus}
{Fade}
