Album: Teenage Dream
She is a pyramid...
But with him she's just a grain of sand
This love's too strong like mice and men
Squeezing out the life
that should be let in
She was a hurricane..caneee..canee...
But now she's just a gust of wind
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
Was a force to be reckoned with
She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh She used to be a pearl...
Ohh... Yeah...
she used to rule the world...
Ohhhh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
Cause she used to be a pearl
She was unstoppable
Moved fast just like an avalanche
But now she's stuck deep in cement
Wishing that they never ever met
She could be a statue of liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But heez scared of the light that's inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark
Oh She used to be a pearl...
Ohh... Yeah...
she used to rule the world...
Ohhhh
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
Cause she used to be a...
Do you know that there's a way out... there's a way out... there's a way out... there's a way out
You don't have to be held down... be held down... be held down... be held down
Cause I used to be a shell
Yeah I let him rule my world...
My world... Ohhh yeahh
But I woke up and grew strong and I can still go on..
And No-one can take my pearl
You dont have to be a shell... No
You're the one that rules your world... Oh
You are strong and you'll learn
that you can still go on
And you'll always be a... a pearl.
She is unstoppable...
