By The Grace Of God
Katy Perry

[Verse 1]

Was 27 surviving my return to saturn,

A long vacation didn't sound so bad.

Was full of secrets locked up tight like iron melting,

Running on empty, so out of gas.


[Pre-Chorus]

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 any more.


[Chorus]

By the grace of god (there were 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.


[Verse 2]

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.


[Pre-Chorus]

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 were 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.


[Hook]

There ain't no,

Not in the name,

In the name of love.

That way,

There ain't no,

I'm not giving up.


[Bridge]

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)


[Outro]

By the grace of god (there were 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 (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.
