Tell me how long you will take
Trying to make up your mind
Maybe it's already too late
I'll just be left behind
For right or wrong
Baby still I hold on
Don't let it burn down in flames

It'a a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart

So scared when I walked to your door
I saw you turn out the light
I can't take this hurt anymore
I shout it out to the night
Living without you ain't living at all
Tell me how do I get by

It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart

I walk the streets in the night
I feel your spirit deep inside
It comes with the darkness
Stay's till the light
I gotta face it there's nowhere to hide

It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
It's a matter of survival
A matter of survival that we're apart
That's all we live and die for
I wish someone would tell it to your heart
Your heart
Matter of survival
Ooh ooh
Matter of survival
