[Verse 1]
Been down the valley of regret
I swam in the river
I reached for peace I couldn't get
'Cause somebody said it would be there
Nights of messed up energy
Ayy-ayy
Thought you'd be the last of me, baby
[Chorus]
I live to survive another heartache
I live to survive another mistake
I live to survive another heartache
I live to survive
I live to survive another hеartache
I live to survive anothеr mistake
I live to survive another heartache
I live to survive
[Verse 2]
You cling to lies and call it truth
It's so deep in your nature (Oh)
You dragged me down that hole with you
So now, you can stay there
Love sure is a mystery (Yeah)
Ayy-ayy
But you won't be the last of me, baby
[Chorus]
I live to survive another heartache
I live to survive another mistake
I live to survive another heartache
I live to survive
[Bridge]
Watch me, I'm back on my feet
I'm back on my feet, I'm back on my feet
Ready for the century
For the century, for the century, yeah
You thought you were out of my league
I'm out of your league, I'm out of your league
Watch me, I'm back on my feet
I'm back on my feet and free
I live to survive another heartache (Ooh)
I live to survive another mistake
I live to survive another heartache (Ooh)
I live to survive
[Chorus]
I live to survive another heartache (I live to survive)
I live to survive another mistake
I live to survive another heartache (I live to survive)
I live to survive
[Outro]
Baby, I live to survive another heartache
Another mistake, another heartache
Oh yeah

[The track is] very much about pulling yourself through a shitty time and coming back stronger on the other side. But it’s also about forgiving yourself for those mistakes. It’s going to happen a few times in your life, so you need to get back on the horse.
