First I was afraid Am
I was petrified Dm
Kept thinking I could never live G
without you by my side C
But I spent so many nights F
thinking how you did me wrong Dm
I grew strong E
I learned how to carry on E7
and so you're back Am
from outer space Dm
I just walked in to find you here G
with that sad look upon your face C
I should have changed my stupid lock F
I should have made you leave your key Dm
If I had known for just one second E
you'd be back to bother me E7

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
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will 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

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
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
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's loving me
