At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinkin´ I could never live without you by my side

But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin´ how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
I learned how to get along

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 that stupid lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I´d have known for just one second you´d be back to bother me

Go on now, go
walk out the door
Just turn around now
You´re not welcome anymore

Weren´t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think I´d lay down and die?
Oh no not I
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´ll survive
I will survive

Hey hey
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
But now I hold my head up high
And you see in me
Somebody new
I´m not that chained up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin´ in
And just expect me to be free
But I´m savin´ all my lovin´ for someone who´s lovin´ me
