I Will Survive
Cake (Fashion Nugget) Lyrics

At first I was afraid
Initially, I was scared

I was petrified
I was extremely frightened

I kept thinking
I constantly wondered

I could never live without you by my side
That I couldn't survive without your company

But then I spent so many nights
I spent multiple nights

Just thinking how you'd done me wrong
Thinking of the things you did to me, which was unjustified

I grew strong
It made me stronger

I learned how to get along
I learned to coexist peacefully

And so you're back
You've returned

From outer space
From a faraway land

I just walked in to find you here
I unexpectedly found you here

Without that look upon your face
Without the same expression on your face

I should have changed that fucking lock
I should have locked the door to prevent your entrance

I would have made you leave your key
I would have taken your key away

If I had known for just one second
Once I knew even for a moment

You'd be back to bother me
You'd come back to trouble me again

Oh now go
Please leave now

Walk out the door
Exit through the door

Just turn around
Simply move and face the opposite direction

Now, you're not welcome anymore
You're no longer wanted here

Weren't you the one
Aren't you the same person

Who tried to break me with desire?
Who attempted to undermine my self-esteem through lust?

Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you believe I would fail

Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Did you expect me to give up altogether?

Oh not I
But I didn't

I will survive
I will overcome this, I will make it through

As Long as I know how to love
As long as I know how to care and give to others

I know I'll be alive
I'll keep going forward in life

I've got all my life to live
I have all the time in the world to live

I've got all my love to give
I'm capable of showing love to others

It took all the strength I had
It cost me all my energy

Just not to fall apart
Just to keep myself together

I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
I'm doing my best to fix the damaged parts

Of my broken heart
Of my emotionally damaged self

And I'vr spent oh so many nights
I spent many nights

Just feeling sorry for myself
Just being miserable for myself

I used to cry
I used to weep

But now I hold my head up high
But now I'm confident

And you see me
If you happen to see me

With somebody new
With a new romantic partner

I'm not that stupid little person
I'm not the foolish and weak individual

Still in love with you
Still having feelings for you

And so you thought you'd just drop by
You intended to appear unexpectedly

And you expect me to be free
And you anticipate me being available to you

But now I'm saving all my lovin'
But now I'm preserving all my affection

For someone whose lovin' me
For an individual who genuinely loves me

Yeah, yeah
Yes, absolutely

Oh no
Oh no
