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 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? Well 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 "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!
