"I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor
First I was afraid,
I was petrified.
Kept thinking I could never live
Without you by my side.
Then I spent so many nights
Just thinkin' 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've changed that stupid lock,
I should've made you leave the 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 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 stay alive.
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!
It took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart,
Just 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 dropping in,
And just expect me to be free.
Well I'm savin' all my lovin'
For someone who's lovin' me.
Go on, now go!
Walk out the door!
Just turn around now,
'Cause you ain't welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one
Who tried to hurt 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 stay alive.
I've got all my life to live,
And 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 ain't 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!

Again, this song does not belong to me in any way, shape, or form, past, present, or future.
I said at the beginning that the song means a lot to me, but it's probably not in the way you're thinking... I didn't go through a terrible break-up with a bf that tried to come back, nor did I divorce a husband who attempted the same. ...I'm not even old enough to legally get married lol. It's the concept of surviving that means something. I'll let you ponder that, 'cause I'm not offering more explanations.
Anyways, give a rating, comments, suggestions, whatever in the comments box, and I'll write again later!
