Pearl Lyrics - Teenage Dreams - Katy Perry

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-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... Ohh 

Yeah, she used to rule the world... Ohh 

Can't believe she's become a shell of herself 

'Cause she used to be a pearl

NEW SONG: Katy Perry - Never Really Over - Lyrics 

She was unstoppable 

Moved fast just like an avalanche 

But now she's stuck deep in cement 

Wishing that they'd 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... Ohh 

Yeah, she used to rule the world... Ohh 

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, ohh, yeah 

But I woke up and grew strong 

And I can still go on 

And no one can take my pearl 

You don't have to be shell, No 

You're the one that rules your world, ohh 

You are strong and you'll learn 

that you can still go on 

And you'll always be a pearl 

She is unstoppable
