Lyrics

You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams

You express your intention to leave, causing my dreams to shatter.

All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems

All the plans we made together seem forgotten or abandoned.

Yes, it had to happen

Acknowledging that the breakup was inevitable.

I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive

Despite the pain, I'm not taken by surprise, and I'll endure this.


Your friends have shown you a better way

Your friends have influenced you to choose a different path.

All my years of loving you, ending today

Years of my love for you come to an end today.

Yes, you go on, darlin'

You move forward, and I'll cope by drying my eyes.

I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive

Despite the heartbreak, I will survive.


Go on, may god bless you

Wishing you well as you depart, with a blessing from God.

It was fun, while it was fun

Reflecting on the enjoyable moments we had, now in the past.

Have fun, baby, I hate to lose you

Expressing regret at losing you, emphasizing the enjoyment that was.

It's all over, what's done is done

Accepting that it's all over, emphasizing the finality of the situation.


Yes, go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame

Encouraging you to pursue your fortune and fame.

Yes, your good luck or bad luck, baby

Stating that your friends should bear responsibility for your luck, good or bad.

Your friends must take the blame

Expressing an inability to beg you to stay due to personal pride.

Oh, I can't beg you, baby

Despite the pain, I cannot lower myself to beg, maintaining self-respect.

I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive

Reiterating the determination to survive despite the emotional turmoil.


Oh, I'll, I'll survive

A final affirmation of resilience and the will to endure and move forward.
