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... 
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, 
Yeah, she used to rule the world, 
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, 
Yeah, she used to rule the world, 
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, 
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 a shell, no, 
You're the one that rules your world, 
You are strong, 
And you'll learn, 
That you can still go on, 
And you'll always be a, a pearl. 

She is unstoppable.
