First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But I spent oh so many nights
Just thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

Go on and go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
But you are the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble?
Do you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Just as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
‘Cause I’ve got all this life to live
And I got all this love to give
And I will survive, I will survive…

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying hard to mend thе pieces of my broken hеart
I spent oh so many nights feeling sorry for myself
How I used to cried
But now I hold my head up high
Motherfuckers!
Go on and go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
But you are the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I’d crumble?
Did you? Did you?
No no
Of course not
Did you think I’d lay down and die?

Oh no, not I, I will survive
Just as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
‘Cause I’ve got all this life to live
And I got all this love to give
And I’ll survive, I will survive, hey hey…
