At first I was afraid, I was petrifiedKept thinkin' I could never live without you by my sideBut then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrongAnd I grew strong, and I learned how to get alongAnd so you're back, from outer spaceI just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your faceI should have changed that stupid lockI should have made you leave your keyIf I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother meGo on now, go, walk out the doorJust turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymoreWeren'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 surviveOh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay aliveI've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to giveAnd I'll survive, I will survive, hey, heyIt took all the strength I had not to fall apartJust trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heartAnd I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myselfI used to cry, but now I hold my head up highAnd you see me, somebody newI'm not that chained up little person still in love with youAnd so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be freeBut now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' meGo on now, go, walk out the doorJust turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymoreWeren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?Did you think I'd crumble?
