I Will Survive

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

Oh 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,
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die

I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (hat)
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna 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
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
Now I hold my head up high.

I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up what)
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what),
I'm gonna make it (what)
I will survive (what),
Keep on survivin' (what)

Yeahhhh
Thought I couldn't breath without ya,
I'm inhalin'
You thought I couldn't see without ya,
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without ya,
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without ya,
But I'm livin'

Thought that I would fail without ya,
But I'm on top
Thought that 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 gonna be here

I'm a survivor (what),
I'm not gonna give up (what)
I'm not gon' stop (what),
I'm gonna work harder (what)
I'm a survivor (what),
