I Will Survive
Fekaris-Perren Lyrics

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
At the start, I was filled with fear and panic

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
I used to believe that I needed you to survive

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
But over time, I reflected on how you hurt me so much

And I grew strong
This led me to become a stronger person

And I learned how to get along
And taught me to live without you

And so you're back
But now you've come back

From outer space
Seemingly out of nowhere

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I was surprised to find you looking so miserable

I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
I regret not being more cautious and not letting you back in

If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
If only I had an inkling that you were coming back to trouble me again

Go on now, go, walk out the door
You should leave now and never come back

Just turn around now
Go the opposite way from me

'Cause you're not welcome anymore
Because I don't want you around me anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You were the one who hurt me with your goodbye

Do you think I'd crumble
Did you expect me to fall apart

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

Oh no, not I, I will survive
No, I won't give up or break down, I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
As long as I know how to love, I will always persevere

I've got all my life to live
I still have so much life left to live

And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
And I will use that love to heal and move on

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
It was very difficult, but I managed not to break down

Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
I worked hard to put my heart back together

And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
There were many nights when I was just wallowing in self-pity

I used to cry
I used to be very emotional and cry

But now I hold my head up high and you see me
But now, I'm stronger and more confident, and you can see that

Somebody new
I'm not the same person as before

I'm not that chained-up little person and still in love with you
I'm not that vulnerable person who was still in love with you

And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
And you thought you could just appear and expect me to forgive you

Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
But now, I'm moving on and saving my love for someone who will love me back

I will survive
I will continue to survive and thrive
