[Katy Perry - By the Grace of God lyrics]
Was 27, surviving my return of Saturn
A long vacation didn't sound so bad
Was full of secrets
Locked up tight like Iron Mountain
Running on empty, so out of gas
Thought I wasn’t enough
Found I wasn’t so tough
Laying on the bathroom floor
We were living on a fault line
And I felt 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 out that way
I thank my sister for keeping
My head above the water
When the truth was like swallowing sand
Now every morning, there is no more mourning
Oh, I 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 out
Oh, that way, no that way, no
Not in the name of love (In the name of love)
That way, no 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)
Looked in the mirror (Looked in the mirror)
By the grace of God (By the grace of God)
(There was no other way)
I picked myself back up
(Picked myself back up)
(I knew I had to stay)
I put one foot in front of the other and I
(In front of the other)
Looked in the mirror and decided to stay
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way
A long vacation didn't sound so bad
Was full of secrets
Locked up tight like Iron Mountain
Running on empty, so out of gas
Thought I wasn’t enough
Found I wasn’t so tough
Laying on the bathroom floor
We were living on a fault line
And I felt 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 out that way
I thank my sister for keeping
My head above the water
When the truth was like swallowing sand
Now every morning, there is no more mourning
Oh, I 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 out
Oh, that way, no that way, no
Not in the name of love (In the name of love)
That way, no 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)
Looked in the mirror (Looked in the mirror)
By the grace of God (By the grace of God)
(There was no other way)
I picked myself back up
(Picked myself back up)
(I knew I had to stay)
I put one foot in front of the other and I
(In front of the other)
Looked in the mirror and decided to stay
Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way
