I will survive as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I will survive
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 you see me, somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you So you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' 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 break me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no not I, I will survive I will survive
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die
