First I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But I spent oh so many nights Just thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along Go on and go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore But you are the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble? Do you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Just as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive 'Cause I've got all this life to live And I got all this love to give And I will 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 I spent oh so many nights feeling sorry for myself How I used to cried But now I hold my head up high Motherfuckers! Go on and go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore But you are the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble? Did you? Did you? No no Of course not Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Just as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive 'Cause I've got all this life to live And I got all this love to give And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey...
