I Will Survive
Musica Nuda Lyrics

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Initially, I was terrified, frozen in my position

Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
I was convinced that I couldn't go on without your presence

Then I spent so many nights Just thinking how you did me wrong
I spent countless nights dwelling on how you mistreated me

And I grew strong
Through it all, I became resilient

And I learned how to get along
I developed ways to cope

And so you're back from outer space
And now you've returned, unexpectedly

I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
I entered to see your melancholic expression

I should have changed that stupid lock
I regret not switching the lock sooner

I should have made you leave your key
I should have insisted on retrieving your key

If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Had I foreseen that you'd return to trouble me

Go on now go, walk out the door
Now, leave - don't bother staying

Just turn around now
And don't look back

'Coz you're not welcome anymore
You're not wanted here anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbyes?
Weren't you the one who kept saying goodbye to hurt me?

you think I'd crumble?
Do you think I'd fall apart?

you think I'd lay down and die?
Do you think I'd give up and perish?

Oh no not I, I will survive
No way, I'll endure and survive

For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
As long as I'm capable of loving, I'm sure I'll live

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

And I've got all my love to give
I still have all my love to offer

I'll survive
I'll live on

Hey hey (I, I will survive)
Hey hey (I'll endure)

Every day (I, I will survive)
Every day (I'll keep going)

Oh yeah
That's right

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
It was tough to avoid breaking down

Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
I was working to heal my shattered heart

And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I wasted many nights pitying myself

I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
I used to weep, but now I'm composed

And you see me, somebody new
And now you see me, changed individual

I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
I'm no longer that captive person still in love with you

And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Now, you thought you could just show up and expect me to be single

But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
But, I'm reserving my love for someone who reciprocates it
