By The Grace Of God - Katy Perry

Was twenty-seven, surviving my return to Saturn

A long vacation didn’t sound so bad

Was full of secrets locked

And tied like iron melting

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,

Hope 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 that way

That way, no, that way no Not in the name, 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

(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
