Survivor

Oh, she left me, didn't even say goodbye
Oh, the 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

You're a survivor, you'll work it out and you'll carry on
You're a survivor, baby, yeah
Your light will shine as the shades are drawn
As the shades are drawn, ooh yeah

She wrote, "You can handle this life, me, I'm not that strong
I need something else for me to hold on to"

Well, I thought, "What makes her think that I
I have all the answers? 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, yeah
Your light will shine as the shades are drawn
As the shades are drawn, yeah"

Baby, baby, come back, can't you understand?
That I can't stop getting scared sometimes any more than you can
You got to hang on, you got to hang on
Why can't we face it together?

I'm gonna tear up your letter, the sooner the 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, yeah
Your light will shine as the shades are drawn
We are survivors, we are survivors, baby, yeah
We are survivors
