[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
She is a pyramid
~#**************#~
But with him, shes just a grain of sand
~#**************#~
This loves too strong, like Mice and Men
~#**************#~
Squeezing out the life that should be let in
~#**************#~
She was a hurricane
~#**************#~
But now shes just a gust of wind
~#**************#~
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
~#**************#~
Was a force to be reckoned with
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
(Oh) She could be a Statue of Liberty
~#**************#~
(Oh) She could be a Joan of Arc
~#**************#~
(Oh) But hes scared of the light thats inside of her
~#**************#~
(Oh) So he keeps her in the dark
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Oh, she used to be a pearl, oh
~#**************#~
Yeah, she used to rule the world, oh
~#**************#~
Cant believe shes become a shell of herself
~#**************#~
‘Cause she used to be a pearl
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
She was unstoppable
~#**************#~
Move fast just like an avalanche
~#**************#~
But now shes stuck deep in cement
~#**************#~
Wishing that they never ever met
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
(Oh) She could be a Statue of Liberty
~#**************#~
(Oh) She could be a Joan of Arc
~#**************#~
(Oh) But hes scared of the light thats inside of her
~#**************#~
(Oh) So he keeps her in the dark
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Oh, she used to be a pearl, oh
~#**************#~
Yeah, she used to rule the world, oh
~#**************#~
Cant believe shes become a shell of herself
~#**************#~
‘Cause she used to be a-

[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Do you know that theres a way out?
~#**************#~
Theres a way out, theres a way out, theres a way out
~#**************#~
You dont have to be held down
~#**************#~
Be held down, be held down, be held down
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
‘Cause I used to be a shell
~#**************#~
Yeah, I let him rule my world, my world, oh yeah
~#**************#~
But I woke up and grew strong, and I can still go on
~#**************#~
And no one can take my pearl
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
You dont have to be a shell, no
~#**************#~
Youre the one that rules your world, oh
~#**************#~
You are strong and youll learn that you can still go on
~#**************#~
And youll always be a, a pearl
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
She is unstoppable
