And I Grew Strong

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

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 back to bother me

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?

Oh, no, not I: I will survive

[Editor’s note: There was a time when I thought it such a clever idea to name every post with a line or title from an 80s song. But spending the 115th day with a song like “When Doves Cry” or this Gloria Gaynor classic going through my head has made me vengeful. I challenge you to read this post and not hear this song echoing in your head all day.]
