Wrecking Ball Savior

WRECKING BALL SAVIOR

O these walls we live inside
Ain’t got much to do otherwise
But to stand in their place
Hold the living people warm and safe
It’s been five years since love has flown
From what used to be this tender home
Now what’s left of the empty halls
Just the ghost of a love gone wrong

O my savior with a wrecking ball
Be my guardian as I watch it fall
Tear this house down that I call my past
Most of what we fret about wasn’t built to last

Yet another restless night
All the stars are flirting up the sky
While the wind creeps through a windowpane
Come to wake me up and whisper his name

O my savior with a wrecking ball
Be my guardian as I watch it fall
Tear this house down that I call my past
Most of what we fret about wasn’t built to last

Gather ‘round and watch this house laid bare
Everyone loves a destruction when it isn’t theirs

O my savior, in ashes we will walk
Be my guardian through smoking clouds of chalk
Tear this house down, into blessed black
And tell that haunting lover I'm never coming back
