Katy Perry - By The Grace Of God

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 Chorus: 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 Chorus: 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 Coda: 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 Chorus: 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) Chorus: 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

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
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

Coda:
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

Chorus:
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)

Chorus:
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
