Survivor / I Will Survive Songtext / Lyric

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking 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 the 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

Oh, no 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?
You think I'd crumble, 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 surviving

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

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 surviving

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

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 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, 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 surviving

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 surviving

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
And I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive!

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 surviving

I will survive!
