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

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

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

Oh, that way, no

That way, no

Not in the name of love (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 (By the grace of God)

(There was 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 and I (In front of the other)

Looked in the mirror and decided to stay

Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way
