I Will Survive - Nils Landgren

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

I kept thinkin' 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

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 back to bother me

Go on now go, walk out the door

And 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 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

I kept trying out to mend the pieces of my broken heart

I spent oh so all 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 felt like droppin’ in and just expect me to be free

Now I’m savin’ all my lovin’

For someone who’s lovin’ me

Go on now go, walk out the door

And 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

I’ve got all my love to give

And I’ll survive

I will survive!
