Wrecking Ball

Lifehouse · Smoke And Mirrors [2010]

I'm alone, wandering in your space

Waiting for a sign of life

Looking so out of place



And then you whisper to me

It doesn't matter what you say

I feel the weight against the wind

The demolition of me caving in (oh-oh-oh)



And I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball (oh-oh-oh)

While you're building up and breaking down my wall (oh-oh-oh)

You push and pull, and give and take

And through it all I gravitate to you



I'm a fool, a mechanical tool for you

You've got all the switches and, levers to blow my cool

And when you know I'm broken

That's when you come shining through



You set me up to knock me down

And leave my shattered pieces on the ground (oh-oh-oh)



And I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball

(oh-oh-oh, I'm not ready to break)

While you're building up and breaking down my wall (oh-oh-oh)

You push and pull, and give and take

And through it all I gravitate to you



(oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)



You set me up to knock me down

And leave my shattered pieces on the ground (oh-oh-oh)



And I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball

(oh-oh-oh, I'm not ready to break)

While you're building up and breaking down my wall (oh-oh-oh)

You push and pull, and give and take

And through it all I gravitate to you



(oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
