I Will Survive
Praga Khan feat. Jade 4U Lyrics

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Initially, I was scared and helpless

Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Thought it was impossible to survive without you

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
But I kept pondering over your cruel behavior for several nights

And I grew strong
Eventually, it made me more determined and resolute

And I learned how to get along
I figured out how to move on and live on my own

Go on now, go walk out the door
You can leave right now and exit through the door

Just turn around now
Please just turn around and go away from me

'Cause you're not welcome anymore
I don't want you in my life anymore

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You were the one who attempted to hurt me by leaving

Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd collapse and fall apart?

Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Did you think I'd just give up and give in to despair?

Oh no not I, I will survive
No, I won't let you destroy me. I'll overcome this and triumph

Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
As long as I have love in my life, I'll continue to exist and thrive

I've got all my life to live
I have a whole life to live and a future to look forward to

And I've got so much love to give
I have a lot of love to share and give to those who deserve it

And I'll survive
I will continue to survive and persevere

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
It took all my mental and emotional strength not to lose myself

Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
I tried really hard to fix the parts of my heart that were shattered

And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
And I spent countless nights feeling self-pity and sadness

I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
I used to be filled with tears, but now I walk with dignity and pride

And you see me, somebody new
You see me as someone completely different now

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

And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
And you thought you could show up and that I would just welcome you back with open arms

But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
But now I'm holding onto all my love for someone who reciprocates the affection
