She is a pyramidBut with him she's just a grain of sandThis love's too strongLike Mice and MenSqueezing out the lifeThat should be let inShe was a hurricaneBut now she's just a gust of windShe used to set the sails of a thousand shipsWas a force to be reckoned withShe could be a Statue of LibertyShe could be a Joan of ArcBut he's scared of the light that's inside of herSo he keeps her in the darkOh, she used to be a pearlYeah, she used to rule the worldCan't believe she's become a shell of herself'Cause she used to be a pearlShe was unstoppableMove fast just like an avalancheBut now she's stuck deep in cementWishing that they never ever metShe could be a Statue of LibertyShe could be a Joan of ArcBut he's scared of the light that's inside of herSo he keeps her in the darkOh, she used to be a pearlYeah, she used to rule the worldCan't believe she's become a shell of herself'Cause she used to be a...Do you know that there's a way outThere's a way out, there's a way out, there's a way outYou don't have to be held downBe held down, be held down, be held down'Cause I used to be a shellYeah, I let him rule my world, my worldBut I woke up and grew strongAnd I can still go onAnd no one can take my pearlYou don't have to be a shell, noYou're the one that rules your worldYou are strongAnd you'll learn that you can still go onAnd you'll always be a pearlShe is unstoppable
