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 laid 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 
Moved fast as light, 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, 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

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 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, oh
You are strong and you'll learn 
That you can still go on 

And you'll always be a pearl 

She is unstoppable
