At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Сначала я боялась, я впадала в прострацию
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
Продолжая полагать, что я больше не смогу прожить без тебя
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
Затем я провела так много ночей, вспоминая, как ужасно ты со мной обошёлся
And I grew strong...
И я росла...
And I learned how to get along...
Привыкая выживать в одиночку...

And so you're back
И вот ты нарисовался
From outer space
Откуда ни возьмись
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
Я лишь вошла, и вот он - ты, со своей грустной рожей
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
Эх, надо было поменять этот дурацкий замок! И настоять, чтобы ты оставил свой комплект ключей.
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me..,
Если хотя бы на миг, осознала, что ты можешь вернуться, чтобы попарить мне мозги

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?
You think I'd crumble?
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
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive, hey, hey...

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 person still in love with you
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me...

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 break me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
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
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive

Oh... 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 break me with goodbye?
You think I'd crumble?
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
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
I will survive
