I Will Survive by R.E.M. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I couldn't live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking in how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along

[Verse 2]
So you're back from outer space
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 your key
If I'd had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

[Pre-Chorus]
Now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
'Cause you were the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
[Chorus]
No, not I, I will survive
(That's all the words I remember)
I will survive

[Pre-Chorus]
Go on, now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
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?

[Chorus]
No, not I, I will survive
As long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive

[Pre-Chorus]
You think I'd crumble?
You think I'd break down and die?
[Chorus]
Oh no, not I, I will survive
I will survive
