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 that stupid lock.

Oh 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 goodbyes?

and I got all my love to give.

and I'll survive. I will survive. hey hey

not to fall apart.

Just 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.

And you see me, somebody new.

I'm not that chained up little person

still in love with you.

And so you felt like dropping in

and just expect me to be free

but now I'm saving all my lovin'

for someone who's lovin' me.



Oh 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 goodbyes?

you think I'd crumble?

you think I'd lay down and die?



Oh no not I.

I will survive.

Oh a
