Katy Perry - By the Grace of God lyrics

rate me

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
