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

(ohohooh)

and I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball (ohohooh)
while you're building up and breaking down my wall (ohohooh)
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

(ohohooh)

and I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball (ohohooh)
(I'm not ready to break)
while you're building up and breaking down my wall (ohohooh)
you push and pull, and give and take
and through it all I gravitate to you

(ohooh, ohooh, ohohohooh, ohooh, ohooh, ohooh, ohohohooh)

you set me up to knock me down
and leave my shattered pieces on the ground

(ohohooh)

and I'm always swinging on this wrecking ball (ohohooh)
(I'm not ready to break)
while you're building up and breaking down my wall (ohohooh)
you push and pull, and give and take
and through it all I gravitate to you

(ohohooh, ohohooh, ohohooh, ohohooh, ohohooh)
