Katy Perry - By the Grace of God
Was 27, surviving my return sadder
A long vacation but it sound so big
Was full of secrets, locked it tight like iron mountain
Running on empty sweater case
Thought I wasn’t enough, found I wasn’t so tough
Laying on the bathroom floor
We were living on a falling line
And I fell, the fault was all mine
Couldn’t take it anymore
By the grace of God
There was no other way
I picked myself back up
I knew I had to stay
I put one foot in front of the other
And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay
Wasn’t gonna let love take me up that way
I thank my sister for keeping my head above the water
When the truth was like swallowing sand
Now every morning hope there is no more mourning
Can finally see myself again
I know I am enough, possible to be loved
It was not about me
Now I have to rise above
Let the universe call the bluff
Yeah, the truth will set you free
By the grace of God
There was no other way
I picked myself back up
I knew I had to stay
I put one foot in front of the other
And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay
Wasn’t gonna let love take me up that way
That way, no, not in the name of love
That way, no, I am not giving up
By the grace of God
I picked myself back up
I put one foot in front of the other
And I looked in the mirror
Looked in the mirror
By the grace of God
There was no other way
I picked myself back up
I knew I had to stay
I put one foot in front of the other
And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay
Wasn’t gonna let love take me up that way
