[Verse 1]
I was raised on sundays and one ways
A room with glass stained views
Picture perfect washed in the words
That were my only truth

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's not that I'm letting you go
Oh, but now I'm all grown up
And I need to know

[Chorus]
I'll make mistakes
But if that's what it takes
Then it's worth starting over again
'Cause I can and I will
And I'll do what I feel
When the world tries to break me, I'll bend
'Cause I can

[Verse 2]
Scared of asking too many questions
Scared to make the choice
From the beginning, you'll be my ending
If you can hear my voice

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause it's not that I'm giving you up
Oh, your name is engraved, oh
And so is your love

[Chorus]
But I'll make mistakes
But if that's what it takes
Then it's worth starting over again
'Cause I can and I will
And I'll do what I feel
When the world tries to break me, I'll bend
'Cause I can

[Bridge]
Oh, always
There's always
Times we have to leave
Oh, but I know that
When I need you
Oh, you will rescue me

[Chorus]
Oh, I'll makes mistakes
But if that's what it takes
Then it's worth starting over again
'Cause I can and I will
And I'll do what I feel
When the world tries to break me, I'll bend
'Cause I can

[Outro]
Oh, when the world tries to break me, I'll bend
'Cause I can

Katheryn Elizabeth “Katy” Hudson (born October 25, 1984), known by her stage name Katy Perry, is an American singer, songwriter, businesswoman, philanthropist, and actress. She was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California. Having had very little exposure to mainstream pop music in her childhood, she pursued a career in gospel music as a teen and released her debut self-titled studio album in 2001. She also recorded a second solo album in 2005, (A) Katy Perry, which was scrapped.

Afterwards, Perry (her mother’s maiden name, taken to avert confusion with Kate Hudson) reinvented herself as a party girl pop star, breaking out with 2008’s One of the Boys and the #1 hits “I Kissed a Girl” and “Hot n Cold”.

Follow-up Teenage Dream (2010) equalled Michael Jackson’s record of five chart-toppers on the same album, and made Perry even more ubiquotous in the pop landscape. Following her marriage and eventual divorce from British comedian Russell Brand, she released an updated version, Teenage The Complete Confection and concert film Katy Part of Me in 2012. She released her fourth album, Prism, in 2013, along with some standalone singles, such as “Rise”.
