Survivor

He left me, 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

He 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

He 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 him
Think that I, I have the answer
I'm just a dancer
I'm taking all the chances
I'm just a dancer

But he 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 he's beside me
When he's beside you, girl
Taking your heart to another world

If you look good a little closer now
Well, it's a little girl inside me
Little girl inside you

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...
