By the Grace of God

[Produced by Katy Perry and Greg Wells] [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [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 2] 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] [Bridge] That way, no That way, no Not 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 [Chorus]
