2WEI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I couldn't breathe without you
I'm inhaling
You thought I couldn't see without you
Perfect vision
You thought I couldn't last without you
But I'm lastin'
You thought that I would die without you
But I'm livin'

Thought that I would fail without you
But I'm on top
Thought it would be over by now
But it won't stop
Thought that I would self destruct
But I'm still here
Even in my years to come
I'm still gon' be here

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, oh
I'm gon' work harder

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, oh
I'm gon' work harder
I'm the survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'

I'm a survivor
I'm not gon' give up
I'm not gon' stop, oh
I'm gon' work harder
I'm the survivor
I'm gonna make it
I will survive
Keep on survivin'
