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 thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along
[Verse 1]
And 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 have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
[Pre-Chorus]
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? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
[Chorus]
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, and I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey
So many of the classics are just cringey from today's perspective. This one truly stands the test of time. And if one is into karaoke, it's nice because, unlike so many classics that we ALL KNOW, it's not massively repetitive, either.
First I was afraid, I was petrified
I didn’t know if I could live with silica inside
But then I spent so many years buried under all those layers
I grew strong
I learned how to be a stone
And now I’m back
From underground
I don’t erode so fast as all this crumbly sandstone all around
I’ve been transformed by all this waiting into something that could last
You just hang a sign around me and you send those tourists past
Jolly good show, chap!

Updating, tyvm.
It seems like the bottom part is missing, let me guess, it's "now I'm petrified"?
It looks like there was a text box bottom-left that was cropped out, but I think it's funnier without it.
I thought it was a comic against clear-cutting.
"I was petrified"

Never read the lyrics for that song before, damn good writing
