The song was not about being a survivor, I just was able to take those words that I copied and apply them as such. The other verse is this:
They bought the old victorian
With plans to fix it up
Forever was in store for them
But hope was not enough
Illness overlooked their dreams
It can disregard the heart
Now he goes upstairs alone
And lies there in the dark
