First I was afraid,
I was petrified \окаменеть\
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 grew stronger
and I learned how to get along /жить; прожить; обходиться/
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 have changed that stupid lock,
I should have 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 you think I'd crumble /распадаться, разрушаться, гибнуть; крошиться/
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh 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
and I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive, hey-hey!
Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart
Though /хотя, несмотря на / I tried 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
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
and so you felt like dropping in and just expect \ждать, надеяться\ me to be free
now I'm saving all my loving 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 push me with goodbye,
Did you think I'd crumble,
Did you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I, I will survive,
and as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
