Was 27 surviving my return to 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

And I wasn't so tough

Laying on the bathroom floor

We were living on a phone line

And I felt the fault was all mine

Couldn't take it any more

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

That way no

There ain't no

Not in the name of love

In the name of love

(In the name of love)

That way

There ain't no

I'm 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

(Rhere 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
