This is at once a parody and how a woman being honest feels when someone who broke her heart really badly returns.
I Won’t Survive
It’s why I am afraid
Why I’m petrified
Thinking about how it would be
To have you by my side
But then if you left me again
Or once more did me wrong
Could I be strong?
Would I know how to carry on?
So now you’re back
From outer space
I overestimated then
But now I know my place.
Since you I put my heart on lock
And then I threw away the key.
I even understand
Why you never respected me.
Before you go
Walk out that door.
Just hear me out now.
I’m not angry anymore.
You really hurt me with a hell of a goodbye
And I did crumble.
I thought I’d lay down and die.
So I say I
I won’t survive.
I can’t go through that pain
And at the same time stay alive.
I have those for whom to live
And so though I do forgive
I must survive.
I must survive.
Even with all of my strength
I did fall apart.
There is just no way to mend
The pieces of my broken heart.
Though I no longer feel
Sorry for myself.
I sometimes cry.
It’s hard to hold my head too high.
Yes I have changed.
Not the girl you knew.
I still love you to the death
But I’m afraid of you.
So thank you for dropping in
But in a way you’ve set me free
Because now I understand
Nobody will ever love me like me.
