I Will Survive Lyrics - Tanya G

I used to cry 

But now I hold my head up high 

I used to cry 

Petrified, kept thinking I 

I was, I was petrified 

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side 

Petrified, kept thinking I 

I was, I was petrified 

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side 

Petrified, kept thinking I 

Petrified, kept thinking I 

Petrified, kept thinking I 

Petrified 

At first I was afraid, I was petrified 

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side 

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

If I'd known for just one second you'd be 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 

Do 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 

'Cause 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 

I will survive, I will survive, I will survive 

Hey, hey 

I will survive, I will 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 then 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 and still in love with you 

And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free 

Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving 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 break me with goodbye 

Do 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 

'Cause 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 

I will survive, I will survive, I will survive 

Hey, hey 

I will survive, I will survive, I will survive
