At first I was afraid I was petrified
Thinking I couldn't live without you by my side
And I've been spending nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And now you're back
From outer space
And I find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
Oh made you leave your key
If I've known for a second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And all my love to give and I'll survive
I, I, I will survive
It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying' without my mind to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights
Feeling sorry for myself, how I cried
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I'm not that lonely little person who's still in love with you
Now you come dropping in
Expecting me to be free
Now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
Go on now, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd might crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live
And all my love to give and I'll survive
I, I, I will survive
Go and go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And all my love to give and I'll survive
I, I, I will survive
It took all my strength not to fall apart
Trying' without my mind to mend my broken heart
I spent so many nights
Feeling sorry for myself, how I cried
Now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
Not that lonely little person who's still in love with you
Now you come dropping in
Expecting me to be free
but I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
Go on and go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Think I'd might crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, not I, I will survive
Long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got my life to live
And all my love to give and I'll survive
I, I, I will survive
Go on and go, walk out the door
Turn around now
You're not welcome anymore
You're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Letra en español:
Al principio tuve miedo,
estaba petrificado,
seguía pensando que no podía vivir sin ti
a mi lado,
pero luego pasé tantas noches
solo pensando en el daño que me hiciste,
me hice fuerte,
he aprendido a vivir
y ahora regresas
del espacio exterior,
solo caminaba para encontrarte aquí
sin esa mirada en tu rostro,
debí haber cambiado esa cerradura de mierda,
debí haberte quitado la llave,
si hubiera sabido que
vendrías a molestarme.
Y ahora vete,
sal por la puerta,
solo da la vuelta,
ya no eres bienvenido nunca mas,
ya no eres mi numero uno,
¿Quien trató de romperme con deseo?
¿Creíste que me derrumbaría?
¿Creíste que caería y moriría?
¡Oh, yo no!
Sobreviviré
¡Si!
Mientras que yo sepa amar,
podré vivir sin ti,
¡Tengo toda mi vida para vivir!
¡Tengo todo mi amor para dar!
Sobreviviré
Sobreviviré
¡Si, si!
Toma toda la fuerza que tuviste
y no te desmorones,
estoy tratando de reparar las piezas
de mi corazón roto.
Y yo ¡Oh! pase tantas noches
sintiendo lastima por mi mismo,
solía llorar,
pero ahora tengo mi cabeza en alto
y me verás con
alguien nuevo,
ya no soy ese estúpido
enamorado de ti,
tu pensabas que esto acababa de pasar,
y esperabas que estuviera libre,
pero ahora estoy guardando todo mi amor
para alguien que me ame.
Y ahora vete,
sal por la puerta,
solo da la vuelta,
ya no eres bienvenido nunca mas,
ya no eres mi numero uno,
¿Quien trató de romperme con deseo?
¿Creíste que me derrumbaría?
¿Creíste que caería y moriría?
¡Oh, yo no!
Sobreviviré
¡Si!
Mientras que yo sepa amar,
podré vivir sin ti,
¡Tengo toda mi vida para vivir!
¡Tengo todo mi amor para dar!
Sobreviviré
Sobreviviré
¡Si, si!
