Lyrics

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 feelin' 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 saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' 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 goodbyes
You think I'd crumble
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 feel alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive
I will survive

Oh
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 goodbyes
You think I'd crumble
