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 have changed that stupid lock, I should have 
made you leave your key
If I?d have known for just one second you?d 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

** 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 and I?ve got all my love 
to give
And I?ll survive, I will survive, hey, hey

It took all the 
strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin? 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, 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 feel like droppin? in and just expect me to be free
But now 
I?m savin? all my lovin? for someone who?s lovin? me
