I'Ll Survive - Country Joe & The Fish

It really wasn’t you or I who made the final move

We both could feel it coming and knew it would be soon

Now that it’s over I finally realize

That some of my fears were not fully justified

And I find I’m still living much to my surprise

Y’know, it looks like I just might survive

I feel the pressure building to block you from my mind

To try and make my thoughts of you pass away with time

But to try and fake a broken heart isn’t even worth a try

For we know each other well enough that there’s little we can hide

And I find I’m still living much to my surprise

It’ll be lonesome without you but I’ll survive

I look back on our romance and there’s something in it all

That makes my life without you seem to be so very small

I know we never played the game with true love as a prize

But we found ourselves a kind of love we had never really tried

That I let you get so close to me comes as no surprise

It’ll be lonesome without you, lonesome without you

Lonesome without you but I’ll survive, oh yeah
