Was 27 surviving my return of 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
Bridge 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, hope there is no more mourning Oh, I can finally see myself again
Bridge 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: 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
