Lyrics
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 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

Katy Perry expands her latest album with four new tracks ahead of her worldwide 'Lifetimes Tour' for 2025.

Perry will perform at Central Hall Westminster in London on December 11th as part of her limited December shows.

Due to high demand, Katy Perry has announced a second London O2 show.

The track - the first from her new album - is set to arrive next month.
