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 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
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother 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 hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did 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 survivin'

You 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 lasting
You thought that I would die without you but I'm living

You thought that I would fail without you but on top
You thought that it'd be over by now but it won't stop
You 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 survivin'

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. Hey hey.

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 survivin'
