I Will Survive
Rising Strong: Unveiling Resilience in the Face of Heartbreak
Lyrics
At first I was afraid I was petrified
Initially, I felt fearful and paralyzed
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
I believed I couldn't survive without you beside me
But then I spent so many nights
However, I spent a significant amount of time
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
Contemplating how you mistreated me
And I grew strong
That contemplation made me resilient and stronger
And so you're back from outer space
Now, you've returned unexpectedly
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I came in and found you with a sorrowful expression
I should have changed that stupid lock
I regret not changing the lock earlier
I should have made you leave your key
I should've insisted you leave your access behind
If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me
If I knew you'd come back to trouble me again
Go on now, go walk out the door
Now, please leave and walk away
Just turn around now
Simply turn around and leave my presence
('cause) you're not welcome anymore
You're not wanted or welcomed here anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
Weren't you the one who attempted to hurt me by leaving?
Did I crumble
Did I collapse emotionally?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Did you anticipate me giving up?
Oh no, not.I. I will survive
No, I won't. I will endure
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
As long as I understand how to love, I'll survive
I've got all my life to live,
I have a whole life ahead of me to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,
I possess abundant love to offer and I'll endure
I will survive. Hey hey.
I will persist and thrive
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
I struggled immensely but managed not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
I made great efforts to heal my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
I spent many nights in self-pity
Just feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry
I used to cry often
But now I hold my head up high
Now, I carry myself confidently
And you see me somebody new
Others perceive a new version of me
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you,
I'm no longer the person enslaved by love for you
And so you feel like droppin' in
Now that you feel like returning
And just expect me to be free,
You expect me to be available freely
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
But now, I'm reserving my love for someone who reciprocates
Go on now
Please leave now
