Pearl
Katy Perry
Teenage Dream (2010)

She is a pyramid
But with him she's just a grain of sand
This love's too strong like my? cement
Squeezing out the life that should be let in

She was a hurricane-cane-cane-cane
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, oh
Yeah, she used to rule the world, oh
Can't believe, she's become, a shell of herself
'Cause she used to be a pearl

She was unstoppable
Move 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 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, oh
Yeah, she used to rule the world, oh
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, oh yeah

But I will come, and grow strong
And I can still go on
And no one can take my pearl

You don't 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
