I should have made you leave your key
And so you're back from outer space
La, la, la
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
And you see me, somebody new
Oh, no, not I, I will survive
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die?
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
La, la, la
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
La, la, la
And I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
La, la, la
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
La, la, la
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, no, not I, I will survive
La, la, la
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
La, la, la
La, la, la
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
But now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
La, la, la
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
La, la, la
Oh, now go, walk out the door
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
La, la, la
I just walked in to find you here with that look upon your face
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
La, la, la
La, la, la
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
La, la, la
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
I should have changed that stupid lock
Oh, now go, walk out the door
