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
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've changed that stupid lock,
I should've made you leave your key,
If I had known, for just one second,
You'd be back to bother me.
Well, 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 (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
And 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!
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not go on give up (What?)
I'm not go on stop (What?)
I'm go work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
Thought I couldn't breathe without you
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm livin'
Thought that I would fail without you
But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now
But it won't stop
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 (What?)
I'm not go on give up (What?)
I'm not go on stop (What?)
I'm go work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not go on give up (What?)
I'm not go on stop (What?)
I'm go work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
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! Oohh..
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not go on give up (What?)
I'm not go on stop (What?)
I'm go work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
