Intro :
At f irst I was afraid
I was p etrified
Kept thinkin'I could never live without you by my side
But then I s pent so many nights
Thinkin'ho w you did me wrong
And I grew str ong
I learned how to get along
And so y ou're back from outer s pace
I just walk ed in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have ch anged that stupid lock
I would have m ade you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be b ack to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the d oor
Just turn aro und now
You're not w elcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodby e
Did I cr umble
Did you think I'd l ay down and die ?
Oh no not I
I will sur vive
Oh, as l ong as I know how to love I kn ow I'll stay alive
I've got a ll my life to live
I've got a ll my love to give
And I'll surv ive
I will sur vive
Hey h ey
It t ook all the strength I had n ot to fall apart
Kept trying'ha rd to mend the pieces of my brok en heart
And I sp ent oh so many nights
Just feeling s orry for myself
I used to c ry
But now I h old my head up high
And you see in me
Somebody n ew
I'm not that chai ned up little person still in lo ve with you
And so you f eel like droppin'in
And just exp ect me to be free
But I'm sa vin'all my lovin'for someone who's lovin'me
