| Time goes by the inch and I work it by the mile
|
| I’m gonna have to go much faster if I’m gonna get there
|
| I loved you with abandon, I was careless with my life
|
| I’m gonna have to lose this heartache if I’m gonna get there
|
| If I’m gonna get there
|
| 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 night
|
| Thinking how you did me wrong
|
| And I grew strong
|
| And I learned how to carry on
|
| And now your back from outer space
|
| I just walked in to find you here
|
| With that sad look upon your face
|
| I should’ve changed the lock
|
| Should have made you leave your key
|
| If I’d thought for just one minute
|
| You’d be back to bother me
|
| Alright now go
|
| Walk out the door
|
| Don’t hang around now
|
| You’re not welcome anymore
|
| Weren’t you the one
|
| Who tried to hurt me with goodbyes
|
| Did I stumble?
|
| Did I break down and cry?
|
| Oh no, not I
|
| I will survive
|
| Just as long as I have heart enough
|
| You know I’ll say alive
|
| I’ve got all my love to live
|
| I’ve got all my life to give
|
| I will survive
|
| I will survive
|
| It took all the strength I had
|
| Not to fall apart
|
| Just trying hard to mend
|
| The pieces of my broken heart
|
| 'Cause I spent too many night
|
| Just feelin' sorry for myself
|
| I used to cry
|
| But now I hold my head up high
|
| If you see me
|
| With someone new
|
| I’m not that timid little person
|
| Whose still in love with you
|
| So you felt like dropin' in
|
| And you expect me to be free
|
| But I’m savin' all my lovin'
|
| For someone whose lovin' me
|
| Alright now go
|
| Walk out the door
|
| Don’t hang around now
|
| 'Cause you’re not welcome anymore
|
| Weren’t you the one
|
| Who tried to break me with your lies
|
| Did I stumble?
|
| Did I break down and die?
|
| Oh no, not I
|
| I will survive
|
| As long as I have heart enough
|
| You know I’ll say alive
|
| I got all my love to live
|
| I’ve got all my life to give
|
| I will survive
|
| I will survive
|
| Did you think I breakdown and die?
|
| Or crumble, I will survive
|
| Did you think I breakdown or crumble?
|
| I will survive
|
| Did you think I breakdown and die?
|
| I will survive |
