At first I was afraid
So now you're back
* Oh now go,
Oh no, not I
It took all the strength I had
And you see me
(repeat chorus **)
I was petrified
I kept thinking
I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you'd done me wrong
And I grew strong
I learnt how to get along
From outer space
I just walked in to find you here
Without that look upon your face
I should have changed my f---ing lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die
I will survive
As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
Yeah, yeah *
Just not to fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
With somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my love
For someone who's loving me
