I Will Survive
J Well Ft Wendy Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, but yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I have, and all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need

I will always love you
I will always love you

And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, I will always love

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you




I will always love you
I will always love you

Overall Meaning

The song 'I Will Survive' originally sung by Gloria Gaynor, has been covered and remade many times, but perhaps one of the most iconic covers was by Whitney Houston for the movie soundtrack of “The Bodyguard” in 1992. J WELL ft. Wendy Lewis’s version is a testament to the timelessness of this song, with a revamped beat and a soulful touch from Wendy’s velvety voice. The song showcases themes of love, heartache, and the crushing pain of letting go.


The first verse immediately sets the tone for the song - a bittersweet goodbye. The singer acknowledges that they would only hinder the person they love, so they choose to leave. However, they can’t help but think of them at every step, and regardless of the pain caused by the separation, the singer promises to always love the other person. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing that the love the singer feels is unwavering and eternal, even though they must part ways.


The second verse is a little more upbeat. The singer reminds their loved one of all the amazing things they hope for them. They want nothing but happiness and fulfillment, while acknowledging that they weren't the right fit. The song concludes with a final chorus, driving home the message that no matter what happens, their love will always persist.

Will Survivе
At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without
you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And now you’re back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with
that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I’ve known for just one second you’d
back to bother me
Chorus:
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt
me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying’ hard to mend the pieces of
my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I’m not that chained up little girl who’s
still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Now I’m saving all my lovin’ for someone
who’s loving me
Chorus:
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt
me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying’ hard to mend the pieces of
my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me, somebody new
I’m not that chained up little girl who’s
still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in
And just expect me to be free
Now I’m saving all my lovin’ for someone
who’s loving me
Chorus:
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now
‘Cause you’re not welcome anymore
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt
me with goodbye
Do you think I’d crumble
Did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got all my life to live
I’ve got all my love to give and I’ll survive
I will survive

Афигенное исполнение и аранжировка!

@Gennadiy825

Здесь поет не осатаневшая мужененавистница как у  Глории Гейнор, а страдающая в своей глубокой женственности женщина. И это звучит мучительно, но возвышенно и поэтому прекрасно! Спасибо и певице и автору видео. Буду возвращаться к этой записи.

@Saragrimaldisinger
