[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Was 27, surviving my return of Saturn
~#**************#~
A long vacation didnt 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
~#**************#~
Wasnt 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]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
Wasnt gonna let love take me out
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Breakdown]
~#**************#~
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 (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
~#**************#~
Wasnt gonna let love take me out that way
~#**************#~
