Lyrics:

First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
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 have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had 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 goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will 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

It took all the strength I had
not to fall apart
kept trying 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
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
now I'm saving all my loving
for someone who's lovïng me

TRAD

La inceput mi-a fost teama
Am fost inspaimantata
Gandindu-ma ca nu as putea trai
Fara tine alaturi.
Dar mi-am petrecut atatea nopti
Gandindu-ma cu ce mi-ai gresit
Am crescut puternica
Am invatat cum sa-mi port de grija
Si te-ai intors
Din alt spatiu
Doar am pasit pentru a te gasi aici
Cu acea privire trista pe fata ta
Ar fi trebuit sa-mi schimb stupidul lacat
Ar fi trebuit sa te fac sa-ti lasi cheia
Daca as fi stiut macar pentru o secunda
Te-ai fi intors sa ma necajesti.

Du-te acum iesi pe usa
Intoarce-te acum
Ca nu mai esti binevenit
Nu esti tu acela care a incercat sa ma raneasca cu “la revedere”
Tu crezi ca sunt sfaramata
Crezi ca m-am intins jos si am murit
Oh nu, nu eu
Eu voi supravietui
Atata timp cat voi stiisa iubesc
Voi stii sa stau in viata
Am toata dragostea mea de dat
Si eu voi supravietui
Eu voi supravietui.

Mi-am luat toata puterea pe care o aveam
Pentru a nu-mi pierde increderea
Incercand din greu sa refac
Partile din inima mea sfaramata
Si mi-am petrecut atatea nopti
Doar parandu-mi rau pentru mine insami
Obisnuiam sa plang
Acum imi tin capul sus
Si tu ma vezi
Precum cineva nou
Nu sunt acea persoana inlantuita
Inca indragostita de tine
Si te simteai ranit
Si asteptai ca eu sa fiu libera
Acum imi salvez toata dragostea
Pentru cineva care ma ïubeste
