Survivor / I Will Survive

Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinkin' I could never live,

without you by my side.

But then I spent so many nights just thinkin' how

you did me wrong. And I grew strong,

and I learned how to get along

So now you're back, from outer space

I just walked in to find you here with

that sad look upon your face.

I should've changed that stupid lock,I should've

made you leave your key!

If I had known for just one second you'd

be back to bother 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 hurt me with goodbye

Did I crumble, did I lay down and die

I'm a survivor

I'm not gon give up

I'm not gon stop

I'm gon work harder

I'm a survivor

I'm gonna make it

I will survive

Keep on survivin'

It took all the strength I had,

not to fall apart.

Kept tryin hard to mend the pieces of

my broken heart

And I spent oh so many nights just feelin'

sorry for myself, I used to cry

But now I hold my head up high

I'm a survivor

I'm not gon give up

I'm not gon stop

I'm gon work harder

I'm a survivor

I'm gonna make it

I will survive

Keep on surviving'

Yeah, ye-yeah, yeah, yeah

Thought I couldn't breathe without you

I'm inhaling

You thought I couldn't see without you

Perfect vision

You thought I couldn't last without you

But I'm lastin'

You thought that I would die without you

But I'm livin'

Thought that I would fail without you

But I'm on top

Thought it would be over by now

But it won't stop

Thought that I would self destruct

But I'm still here

Even in my years to come

I'm still gon be here

I'm a survivor

I'm not gon give up

I'm not gon stop

I'm gon work harder

I'm a survivor

I'm gonna make it

I will survive

Keep on surviving'

I'm a survivor

I'm not gon give up

I'm not gon stop

I'm gon work harder

I'm a survivor

I'm gonna make it

I will survive

Keep on surviving'

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,

I've got all my love to give,

I'll survive, I will survive

I'm a survivor

I'm not gon give up

I'm not gon stop

I'm gon work harder

I'm a survivor

I'm gonna make it

I will survive

Keep on surviving'

I will survive!
