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 thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And 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 should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one 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 tried to hurt me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die
I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it I will survive, keep on survivin'
You thought I couldn't breathe without you I'm inhaling You thought I couldn't see without you perfect vision You thought I wouldn't last without you but I'm lasting You thought that I would die without you but I'm living
You thought that I would fail without you but on top You thought that it'd be over by now but it won't stop You thought that I would self destruct but I'm still here Even in my years to come I'm still gon' be here
I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it I will survive, keep on survivin'
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.
I'm a survivor, I'm not gon' give up I'm not gon' stop, I'm gon' work harder I'm a survivor, I'm gonna make it I will survive, keep on survivin'
