Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive (Lyrics)

The speaker was afraid and devastated after a breakup, but then realized they could live without their ex. However, when their ex returns, they regret not changing the locks. The speaker tells the ex to leave and that they are not welcome anymore. They express that the ex tried to hurt them with the breakup, but they will survive and live their life without love. I was so afraid, I was terrified 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 was wrong, and I learned how to get along And so you're back, come out of me 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 me I don't know, for just one second you came back to bother me Come on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore Cause you're the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye I think I can't go on, think I'll lay down and die on you tonight I will survive, oh as long as I don't find love I know I'll be alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive Hey, hey
