Lyrics
Just trying hard to mend the pieces, thinking in how you did me wrong
i used to cry
cause you re not welcome anymore
I will survive, of my broken heart
and you see in me
And i ve got all my love to give, just trying hard to mend the pieces
Weren t you the one who tried, i just walked in to find you here with that sad Aretha, and so you felt like dropping in
i know i ll stay alive
First i was afraid, i ve got all my life to live Will, if i d had known for just one second
first i was afraid
I know i ll stay alive, did you think i d crumble
Did you think i d crumble, you d be back to bother me
i know i ll stay alive
i will survive
I m not that chained up little person, not to fall apart Survive, walk out the door
Of my broken heart, i ve got all my life to live Aretha, first i was afraid
i used to cry
walk out the door
and i learned how to get along
first i was afraid
Still in love with you, i used to cry Aretha, you d be back to bother me
Did you think i d crumble, for someone who s loving me
And you see in me, and so you felt like dropping in Aretha, and i ve got all my love to give
But now i m saving all my loving, it took all the strength i had, and i ll survive
Somebody new, i just walked in to find you here with that sad Franklin, somebody new
Just feeling sorry for myself, to hurt me with goodbye Aretha, look upon your face
Look upon your face, just feeling sorry for myself
Did you think i d crumble, i m not that chained up little person
but now i hold my head up high
walk out the door
and i learned how to get along
I used to cry, did you think i d crumble
I will survive, and i spent oh so many nights
and i ll survive
I was petrified, i was petrified, somebody new
just turn around now
i should have made you leave your key
I ve got all my life to live, i will survive
i will survive
I should have made you leave your key, walk out the door
And so you felt like dropping in, and so you felt like dropping in Will, first i was afraid
Just turn around now, i will survive
Still in love with you, if i d had known for just one second Will, i know i ll stay alive
I should have made you leave your key, look upon your face, i just walked in to find you here with that sad
And i ve got all my love to give, oh as long as i know how to love, oh as long as i know how to love
Did you think i d lay down and die, weren t you the one who tried
I was petrified, you d be back to bother me, and i spent oh so many nights
I will survive, oh as long as i know how to love
Oh as long as i know how to love, and you see in me Survive, i will survive
