[Verse 1]
Humility on Bleecker Street
Exposed my faults until I'm left defeated
It's been three years into this relationship
This is longer than I ever could commit
[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel that I'm near
But I feel my fear
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm standing at the edge of another precipice in life
Gotta face my steppenwolf
Gotta drag you through the mud
When I get there I will see myself
I will look for strength within
I will be a better woman
Hang in there baby, I'm the grain of sand
Becoming the pearl
[Verse 2]
There are no role models in rock 'n' roll
No women who could have it all
The long career, the man, the happy family
And here I stand and God I do demand it
[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel that I'm near
But I feel my fear
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm standing at the edge of another precipice in life
Gotta face my steppenwolf
Gotta drag you through the mud
When I get there I will see myself
I will look for strength within
I will be a better woman
Hang in there baby, I'm the grain of sand
Becoming the pearl
[Bridge]
It's dark in here
Don't know who I am
Memories come
I'm wading through the moon
Evil side
Wants to drag me down
Will power
God please give me some
[Chorus]
I'm standing at the edge of another precipice in life
Baggage from my family
Going back to therapy
I will kneel, be humble, tow the weight
I will look for strength within
I will be a better woman
Hang in there baby, I'm the grain of sand
Becoming the pearl
Humility on Bleecker Street
