Survivor

Lyrics

Mmm-mmm, she left me And she didn't even say goodbye Wrote me a letter I found it by my bedside As I read it Tears swelled up in my eyes She said, baby, baby Don't you realize that you're a survivor You'll work it out And you'll carry on You're a survivor, baby You're like a child As the shades are drawn As the shades are drawn She wrote you can handle this life Me, I'm not that strong I need something else for me to hold on Well, I thought what makes her think That I, I have the answer I'm just a dancer I'm taking all the chances I'm just a dancer But she wrote you're a survivor You'll work it out And you'll carry on You're a survivor, baby You're like a child As the shades are drawn As the shades are drawn Well, sure my act is tough enough When it's only when she's beside me If you look good a little closer now Well, it's a big, strong man inside me Baby, baby, come back Can't you understand I can't stop getting scared sometimes Anymore than you can You got to hang on You got to hang on Why can't we face it together I'm gonna tell the ledger That soon I'll be better I'm gonna burn up the letter Because now you're a survivor You'll work it out And you'll carry on You're a survivor, baby You're like a child As the shades are drawn As the shades are drawn We are survivors…
