A wrecking ball is a heavy steel ball, usually hung from a crane, that is used for demolishing large buildings. It was most common during the 1950s and 1960s. Several wrecking companies claim to have invented the wrecking ball. An early documented use was in the breaking up of the SS Great Eastern in 1888-1889, by Henry Bath and Co, at Rock Ferry on the river Mersey.
With the invention of hydraulic excavators and other machinery, the wrecking ball has become less common at demolition sites because its working efficiency is smaller compared to that of long reach excavators. Although the wrecking ball is still the most efficient way to raze a concrete frame structure, it is decreasing in use.
Modern wrecking balls have had a slight re-shaping, with the metal sphere changed into a pear shape with a portion of the top cut off. This shape allows the ball to be more easily pulled back through a roof or concrete slab after it has broken through.
Wrecking balls range from about 1,000 lb to around 12,000 lb (450 kg to 5400 kg). The ball is made from forged steel, which means the steel is not cast into a mold in a molten state. It is formed under very high pressure while the steel is red hot (soft but not molten) to compress and to strengthen it.

She embarked upon the Best of Both Worlds Tour the same year, in which she performed as both herself and in character as Hannah Montana. The tour was eventually turned into a high-grossing concert film titled Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008). In July 2008, Cyrus released her first solo album, Breakout (2008), which was commercially successful.
She began her foray into film by providing the voice of "Penny" in the animated film Bolt (2008).

She also reprised her role as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana in Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009). The Hannah Montana: The Movie' soundtrack introduced her to new audiences within country and adult contemporary markets.
Plot
In 1983 all children aged nine years or less fall into a coma at the same time. The children remain in the coma for the next 10 years and all children born during this time are born into the same state. Ten years later Tom Russel, who was imprisoned after killing a man in a fight, is released from prison and returns to his home town where his older brother has a son in a coma. That night all the children wake up but they are hellbent on killing all the adults. It soon becomes apparent that the children share a sort of collective consciousness and as one learns they all learn. As they get smarter they learn to disable motor vehicles and eventually to use firearms. A group of survivors, led by Tom and Jean, try to escape to the safety of a base located 60 km outside the town.

(Verse)
Realization come to life
As she lay the song away
Wanted to fit or fail embark
Alone,alone nobody's there
(Chorus)
Ahh-ahh-ahhh
Ahh-ahh-ahhh-ahhh-ahh
Love don't come to everyone
Gotta cope and feed the morning sun
Are you the one I'm thinking of
Ahh-ahh-ahhh-ahhh-ahh-ah
(Verse)
This long heart of you know that's true
When you're last persist right through
Would take turns with the wrecking ball
But I'll miss will that be you someday
(Chorus x2)

(Bridge)
All that is real,
Comes with a deed
Spurns you out in the face though
You still go straight
Come just stay still
Won't pull my tongue
Roll away now wrecking ball
(Chorus x2)
Love don't come to everyone
Gotta cope and feed the morning sun
Are you the one I'm thinking of
Baby you let me down
I'm closing the door
I can't bear to see
Your sweet eyes anymore
Every second that I stay
I'm sinking further in
To your clever little games
And the heartache that they bring
Don't you know by now
When I scream out loud
That I'm done with you
And the things you do
I can't run or hide
From your love or lies
Can I win a war
When you're changing sides
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it apart
It's like
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it, tear it
Picking up parts of me
Scattered on the floor
Reckless love is strong
I wish my soul was more
Terrified and scared to death
I'm searching for a way
To keep you more in check
Hear what I gotta say
Don't you know by now
When I scream out loud
That I'm through with you
And the things you do
I can't run or hide
From your love or lies
Can I win a war
When you're changing sides
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it apart
It's like
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it, tear it
Baby now I'm taking cover
You're my destructive lover
Baby you are like no other
Wrecking all of us
Baby now I'm taking cover
You're my destructive lover
Baby you are like no other
Wrecking all of us
Wrecking all of us
You're wrecking all of us
With a wrecking ball
With a wrecking ball
Do you really want to wreck us all
With a wrecking ball
With a wrecking ball
Wreck it all
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it apart
It's like
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it apart
It's like
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it, tear it
Don't you know by now
When I scream out loud
That I'm done with you
And the things you do
I can't run or hide
From your love or lies
Can I win a war
When you're changing sides
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
Baby tear it apart
It's like
Every time you tear me down down
Tear me down down
With your wrecking ball heart
you're like a wrecking ball
breaking through my mind
you're like a second thought
three four and five
but I'm still standing tall
my little wrecking ball
I'm still standing tall
my little wrecking ball...
don't stop what you're doing
don't stop if you feel it.
you're like a chemical
messin' with my head
you're like a ticking bomb
underneath my bed
a forty-story fall
leaving me for dead
my little wrecking ball
don't stop what you're doing
don't stop if you feel it.
and if you really wanna know
I think I'm falling in love
you're like a credit card
chopping up my lines
you're like a leather glove
the scene of a crime
you're like a broken watch
fu(king with my time
you're my little wrecking ball
my little wrecking ball
don't stop what you're doing
don't stop if you feel it.
and if you really wanna know
I think I'm falling in love
i was raised out of steel here in the swamps of jersey, some misty years ago
through the mud and the beer, and the blood and the cheers, i've seen champions come and go
so if you got the guts mister, yeah if you've got the balls
if you think it's your time, then step to the line, and bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball
come on and take your best shot, let me see what you've got
bring on your wrecking ball
now my home was here in the meadowlands, where mosquitoes grow big as airplanes
here where the blood is spilled, the arena's filled, and giants play the games
so raise up your glasses and let me hear your voices call
come on!
cause tonight all the dead are here, so bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball
take your best shot, let me see what you've got
bring on your wrecking ball
yeah we know that come tomorrow, none of this will be here
so hold tight to your anger
yeah, hold tight to your anger
hold tight to your anger, and don't fall to your fear
now when all this steel and these stories, they drift away to rust
and all our youth and beauty, it's been given to the dust
and our game has been decided, and we're burning down the clock
and all our little victories and glories, have turned into parking lots
when your best hopes and desires, are scattered to the wind
and hard times come, and hard times go
and hard times come, and hard times go
and hard times come, and hard times go
and hard times come, and hard times go
and hard times come, and hard times go
they're just gonna come again
bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball
come on and take your best shot, let me see what you've got
bring on your wrecking ball
bring on your wrecking ball
(bring on your wrecking ball)
bring on your wrecking ball
(bring on your wrecking ball)
take your best shot, let me see what you've got,
To be alone is all you've ever known; this emptiness neat doesn't affect you now
On those steps I saw you, your face pressed in your hands
Were thinking this life would be different if you'd taken that one chance?
So many words to say but you just can't find the time
Or the strength that you possess within yourself to finally draw that line
I see your weakness and they overtake you, a wrecking ball that splits right through your mind
You've got to take control, reach within yourself, stop your world from dying on the inside
You've got so much potential in your, it's waiting for it's chance to shine
This is a fight against yourself and you've got to make it out alive
I'm here for you and there's no excuse for you to lose this time
So rescure yourself from your flaws; a simple solution to aowrthy cause
Just know that it's up to you!
You say you can't. that's why you won't; this is your life, it ain't no no joke
Drop the excuses and start to take a stand
You fail with your self-fulfilling prophecy
Look in your heart that is the key to see the potential that we all see
She's a wrecking ball
Like a fever I burn faster
She she, She's gone faster
Her machine will make you weary
She she, she's gone faster
Her high-speed mind is what I'm fearing
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to your heart
Ready get set
Tear this place apart
Oh my god she's a wrecking machine
She burned my motor on my engine clean
Quit playin' dirty tricks single picks
She does it all
She's a wrecking ball
She's going down low to the fire
She she, she's gone faster
And I don't give a damn if it takes me higher
If she don't care bout elimination
She she, she's gone faster
Then I don't give a fuck its my bad reputation
Hold on to your heart
Hold on to your heart
Ready get set
Tear this place apart
Oh my god she's a wrecking machine
She burned my motor on my engine clean
Quit playin' dirty tricks single picks
She does it all
She's a wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
She's my wrecking ball
Oh my god she's a wrecking machine
She burned my motor on my engine clean
Quit playin' dirty tricks single picks
She does it all
Oh my god she's a wrecking machine
She burned my motor on my engine clean
Quit playin' dirty tricks single picks
She does it all
She's a wrecking ball
It's not my problem now
Get him to sort it out
And when the dust has cleared
Look on your shoulder
It looks like we're over
You've got a lot to say
For someone who says they're okay
It must be serious
To look on my shoulder
It looks like we're over now
Hit that wall with a wrecking ball
Again, if I'm over
Hit that wall with a wrecking ball
Again, if I'm over, you are
We got out just in time
The furniture was mine
And that's most unfortunate
So look on my shoulder
It looks like we're over now
Hit that wall with a wrecking ball
Again, if I'm over
Hit that wall with a wrecking ball
Again, if I'm over, you are
So look on my shoulder
It looks like we're over
Look on my shoulder
Hit that wall with a wrecking ball
Again, if I'm over
Hit that wall with a wrecking ball
You don't need a special invitation to come to the blow-out party of a nation
The big one's been set up for tonight
Wreak a little havoc till the place is a sight
No more reason to be pleasin', rocket blast, rock it down, rock on 10
Tomorrow might never come again
Chorus:
Let's have a wrecking ball - really tear it up
Let's have a wrecking ball - a little rough and tough
This is it - last call - let's raise hell until the walls fall
Let's have a wrecking ball
Abandon all morality, anything goes, got nothin' to lose but your sanity
The finger's on the button, this is your last ride
It's an "E" ticket with the devil by your side
Missiles burning, sky is turning, grab it up, rip it hard, take a bite
You might not see the morning light
chorus
(Solo)
chorus repeats 4x...
Another Friday night in trousers tight, no money sense or plan The demon drink will see you right, scuttered to a man Not for you the affluence that lies beyond the velvet rope The chateau in the gutter's your only hope You had your pints and pissed your kacks They pulled you by the ear, you couldn't stand your ID off by years
Drinking- ready, willing and able Sinking- See you under the table
Here's something for you all Don't fear your beer, just get involved If you're proud to be inebriate It's coming straight into your face Like a wrecking ball
Now the night is young, you're highly strung, you're drinking wine and schnapps The yuppie life is the only life, you think it's such a laugh Your nouveau riche and eating quiche, you're cashing in and cooking books But too much coke is ruining your looks You rake it in and live in sin You're playing futures in your prime You're pissing up on borrowed time
here comes the wrecking ball
dont look like what i thought
comes and takes all of us
leaves us a cloud of dust
oh what its done for me
has eyes but cannot see
so i keep my straight face
play dead right where i lay
oh so where to go
a quiet place i know
get to my brothers place
lights are off but i know my way
oh and look at him
he is sleeping
god knows hes seen it all
been hit by wrecking balls
awoke a broken hand
i took an honest hand
although still i sit
i still can not resist
the way her legs are crossed
and the way her hair is tossed
i like the way she talks
my little wrecking ball
here comes the wrecking ball
dont look like what i thought
comes and takes all of us
leaves us a cloud of dust
My life's an open book
You read it on the radio
We got nowhere to hide
We got nowhere to go
But if you still decide
That you want to take a ride
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight.
I see your smoky eyes
Right across the bar
I've seen that look before
Shining from star to star
Though I can't take that chance
If you got time for one dance
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight.
The restless line of cars
Goes stretchin' down the road
But I won't telephone
'Cause you might say hello
What is it makes me feel this way?
What is it makes me want to say
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancin' tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball
Wrecking ball
Wear something pretty and white
I don't feel, I don't care no more
Lies you steal I can explore
With white lines and yellow pills
I feel stupid, her muscles make me burn
You are asleep, and I can't deal I'm a wrecking ball
So pass the bottle to salt my sores, until I can't feel no more
Four days straight still no sleep
I'll eat some pills I found on your street
And I'm alone and it's alright
cheaters walking downtown with there
hands in there pockets feelin cheated
killers on the street talking to birds
gettin mistreated you wanna get created?
well welcome to the wrecking ball
talkers talking fast walking fast trying to get treated the boat straight, walkers corporations

Chorus:
Send Your denolition down
from the sky

to see this evil scheme
of the underworld
in dire straits
smashing to smitereens
all the barriers
that hide your face
to watch Your children
om surprise, fall to their knees
open thier eyes
when you
(repeat chorus)
Tear down the bearing wall
Put up a picture window
Something to look through
At the bastard colors, burnt Sienna
Put down the wrecking ball
Who has a friend, who needs one?
I've got a way to get to work in almost any city
Doesn't matter where
Take a needle, I won't be there
Privileges forsaken there liberties
I've taken take me nowhere
Put down the wrecking ball
Don't let a childhood linger
They'll take the world apart
And break my baby brother's finger
So he can't shake my hand
Guard the dead against my legacy
And lack the wound no more
Run from nowhere, nowhere follows you
Burn down the house
Make sure the family is inside
Nothing more to tether you
Also no one there to catch you crying
Nothing but my famous pillow
And my father's rocking chair
(Get a sliver when you sit there)
Every mess I make, I make a run from nowhere
This is harder than I thought
Way harder than I thought
What should I do?
What can I do?
I'm giving up
This is harder than I thought
Way harder than I thought
What should I do?
What can I do?
I'm giving up
I'll see you on the next star
I'll meet you at the next part
So bring on the wrecking ball
Get ready for some changes
Transitioning of ages
So bring on the wrecking ball
This is harder than I thought
Way harder than I thought
What should I do?
What can I do?
I'm giving up
This is harder than I thought
Way harder than I thought
What should I do?
What can I do?
I'm giving up
Get ready for some changes
Transitioning of ages
So bring on the wrecking ball
This is harder than I thought
Way harder than I thought
What should I do?
What can I do?
I shoulda known when I caught the glance
That girl just wasn't no count
I shoulda run but she started to dance
That's when the money ran out
Well, she's a heartbreaker, I'm a mess
She's a tornado, I'm a trailer house, that girl's a hurricane in a dress
And she blows into town, loves me up and down
Just to watch me fall
She picks me up and then knocks me down again
I'm a wreck y'all, she's a wreckin' ball
She makes it easy to come down hard
She got me all tore up
I'm just a sucker with a stupid heart
Who can't get enough
Well, she's a heartbreaker, hell on wheels
She's a bulldozer, I'm just in the way of a steamroller in heels
And she's a heartbreaker, I'm a mess
I'm a wreck y'all
Better watch out for that wreckin' ball
Whoa, I'm mess
I'M ALONE, WANDERING IN YOUR SPACE
WAITING FOR A SIGN OF LIFE
LOOKING SO OUT OF PLACE
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
AND I'M ALWAYS SWINGING ON THIS WRECKING BALL
WHILE YOU'RE BUILDING UP AND BREAKING DOWN MY WALL
YOU PUSH AND PULL, YOU GIVE AND TAKE
AND THRU 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 THRU
YOU SET ME UP TO KNOCK ME DOWN
AND LEAVE MY SHATTERED PIECES ON THE GROUND
AND I'M ALWAYS SWINGING ON THIS WRECKING BALL
WHILE YOU'RE BUILDING UP AND BREAKING DOWN MY WALL
(I'M NOT READY TO BREAK)
YOU PUSH AND PULL, YOU GIVE AND TAKE
AND THRU IT ALL I GRAVITATE TO YOU
YOU SET ME UP TO KNOCK ME DOWN
AND LEAVE MY SHATTERED PIECES ON THE GROUND
AND I'M ALWAYS SWINGING ON THIS WRECKING BALL
WHILE YOU'RE BUILDING UP AND BREAKING DOWN MY WALL
(I'M NOT READY TO BREAK)
YOU PUSH AND PULL, YOU GIVE AND TAKE
I said, slide back, relax
I wanna hold you, but you break
Please just let it out
If you think I'm a ghost
Well touch me sweet Sheila
Cause I can't take it no more
Every day I'm away
Stumbling for what to say
Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball
Breaking her heart
What are you supposed to be?
Won't you get close to me?
Tear that building down!
And you know it's tough to take
I got to hold you, but you break
Please just let it out
Every day I'm away
Stumbling for what to say
Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball
Breaking her heart
Like a plane that's coming down
Like a wrecking ball falling apart
Every day I always come to find
Everyone's dumb and blind
I say just fuck it all
I know it's fearless, heartless, careless
Hey, I'm coming down like a wrecking ball
Breaking her heart
Like a plane that's coming down
Like a wrecking ball
You think you can ready my mind
But this is not another love song
Don't even waste your time
I'm already gone
Maybe in another life baby
Nothing you could do could ever make me stay
Cause i'll just break down these walls
Like a wrecking ball
Like a wrecking ball
Woke up with the setting sun
These dreams are run like silently
All the things that we should've done
Can't hold us together
Someday I hope you understand
I look back and baby you'll thank me
Right now, I know that you can't let go of the thought of us, forever
You think you can ready my mind
But this is not another love song
Don't even waste your time
I'm already gone
Maybe in another life baby
Nothing you could do could ever make me stay
Cause i'll just break down these walls
Like a wrecking ball
Father, Father, I need to rip out this old tree
Father, Father, the roots of lust and greed
Have grown so deep into this ground
I've tried so hard to pull them out
On my own, they take the best of me
I need a wrecking ball slamming inside my heart
Breaking me all apart tearing the old away
Killing the fear in me until I can finally breathe
Even if it hurts so bad that I can't even stand
Take it all, let me fall into Your hands
Father, Father, You have brought me to my knees
Father, Father, You long for me to see
When I get lost along the path
You will fight to bring me back
Only You, can make the best of me
I need a wrecking ball slamming inside my heart
Breaking me all apart tearing the old away
Killing the fear in me until I can finally breathe
Even if it hurts so bad that I can't even stand
Take it all, let me fall into Your hands
Hands where mercy lives where grace begins
With Your hands knock down all these walls, I'm praying
I need a wrecking ball slamming inside my heart
Breaking me all apart tearing the old away
Killing the fear in me until I can finally breathe
Even if it hurts so bad that I can't even stand
Take it all, break it all, take my all, let me fall into Your hands
When the lights come up I feel alive
Everything bad gets shoved out of sight
1000 flames light up the night
I hear you scream, I hear you scream
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Come inside it's all for you
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Climb on the Wrecking Ball
Every piece of my soul I give for you
Nothing to hide or lock away
Time stands still together we fly
I hear you scream, I hear you scream
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Come inside it's all for you
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Climb on the Wrecking Ball
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Come inside it's all for you
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Ride on the Wrecking Ball
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Come inside it's all for you
This is my place Join me on the mountain
Ten tons desire ten tons of passion
Pickin' up steam 2 souls crashin'
No wasted wishes, thrown away kisses
I've got a job to do
Rubble and dust, smoke and flames
A glorious mess, wild and untamed
When I take aim, and set my heart on you
I'm a wreckin' ball
A woman on a mission, pure demolition
Bustin' right through that wall
No sense in runnin', you won't see it comin'
But it feels so good when you fall
I'm wreckin' ball
It's a sweet kind of damage, a good kind of broken
Knockin' that locked up door wide open
You'll be smiling knowing I'll swing back through
I'm a wreckin' ball
A woman on a mission, pure demolition
Bustin' right through that wall
No sense in runnin', you won't see it comin'
But it feels so good when you fall
I'm wreckin' ball
No holding me back, no slowing me down
When I want what I want and I want it right now
On a cast iron chain, headed your way
You'll know I ain't messin' around
Cuz I'm a wreckin' ball
A woman on a mission, pure demolition
Bustin' right through that wall
No sense in runnin', you won't see it comin'
I'm a wreckin' ball
But it feels so good when you fall
I'm wreckin' ball
Runnin' on passion, comin' right at ya
And it feels so good when you fall
I'm a wreckin' ball
Look out boys, 'cause I'm a rollin' stone
That's what I was when I first left home
I took every secret that I'd ever known
And headed for the wall
Like a wrecking ball
Started down on the road to sin
Playin' bass under a pseudonym
The days were rough and it's all quite dim
But my mind cuts through it all
Like a wrecking ball
Oh, just a little deadhead
Who is watching, who is watching?
I's just a little deadhead
I won a dollar on a scholarship
Well, I got tired and let my average slip
Then I's a farmer in the pogonip
Where the weed that I recall
Was like a wrecking ball
I met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin
She showed me colors I'd never seen
Drank the bottom out of my canteen
Then left me in the fall
Like a wrecking ball
Standin' there, in the morning mist
A Jack and Coke at the end of my wrist
Yes, I remember when first we kissed
Though it was nothing at all
Like a wrecking ball
Hey boys, just a little deadhead
Who's watching, who's watching?
I's just a little deadhead
With too much trouble for me to shake
Oh, the weather and the blindin' ache
Was ridin' high until the '89 quake
Hit the Santa Cruz garden mall
I need the truth,
Nobody warned you,
Nobody told you, to make up your mind.
Nobody told you, that I could just waltz through and shake up your style.
I'm Inside, like a wrecking ball through your eyes,
And I change it all from inside.
The stones and fire,
All is hard where slow in time,
And no one's for me,
Go inside,
Go inside, where all is tactile,
And no one's for me,
Going Wild, your like new year.

Stay and fight,
Stay and fight,
Time is passing by
Cracks are tumbling in my smile
I have a roadmap round my eyes
But I still don’t know wich way to drive
I’m a dreamer
Can somebody announce that
I like to find my way to you
I need an airplane to feel I’m on the ground yeah
One day I’ll catch my flight to you
Time is just another wrecking ball
Time is just another wrecking ball
Time is just another wrecking ball
The radio is on
I’m waiting for my song to come
There’ s a devil at my gate
Time cuts like a razorblade
And I can easily wait another round here
There’s not much left for me to do
Could you please put your money where your mouth is
One day I’ll catch my flight to you
Time is just another wrecking ball...
Lalalalalaaa
I’m a dreamer
Can somebody announce that
I like to keep my youth forgood
I can easily wait another round here
As long I’ll find my way to you
We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain
We jumped, never asking why
We kissed, I fell under your spell
A love no one could deny
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can’t live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was break me
Yeah, you wreck me
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you’re not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we’re ashes on the ground
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I can’t live a lie, running for my life
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was break me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was break me
Yeah, you wreck me
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should’ve let you in
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should’ve let you in
Don’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you
I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was break me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was break me
Just when my tears were falling deep enough to drown
Down in the valley of the shadow of a doubt
When I gave up that's when He came to lift me out
And set me high, yeah
When I saw it as a gift of matchless worth
I started thinking it was something I deserved
He pulled the rug from underneath without a word
And left me dry, yeah
So piece together these little mysteries
It isn't hard to see the writing on the wall
Triumph and tragedy, only God can be
Both the builder and the wrecking ball
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
He gave them freedom and a fertile promise land
They took for granted their deliverance at hand
Thirty-nine years later they're still walking through that sand
Wondering why, why
So piece together these little mysteries
It isn't hard to see the writing on the wall
Triumph and tragedy, only God can be
Both the builder and the wrecking ball
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And He builds it up, and He knocks it down
Just to build it up even stronger
So piece together these little mysteries
It isn't hard to see the writing on the wall
Triumph and tragedy, only God can be
Both the builder and the wrecking ball
So piece together these little mysteries
It isn't hard to see the writing on the wall
Triumph and tragedy, only You can be
Both the builder and the wrecking ball
