Hermes House Band - i will survive lyrics

rate me

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking 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

Should I have changed that stupid lock, should I have made you leave your key

If I'd've thought for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Oh and 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 goodbyes

You'd think I crumbled, you'd think I laid down and died

Oh no, not I, I will survive

For as long as I know how to love, I know I am still alive

I got all my life to live, I 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

Now I spent oh so many nights, feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high

And you see me, somebody new

I am not that chained up little person still in love with you

And now you felt like dropping in, and expecting me to be free

Now I am saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

Oh and 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 goodbyes

You'd think I crumbled, you'd think I laid down and died

Oh no, not I, I will survive

For as long as I know how to love, I know I am still alive

I got all my life to live, I got all my love to give

And I'll survive, I will survive
