WRECKING BALL

I've been lonely for my old mess.
I've been leaning on my crutches.
She said, “It's only just a passing phase.
A little darkness.” She said,
“I am your wrecking ball.”
The past don't matter, so grab what you gathered,
cause I'm gonna tear it down.
Take this albatross from my neck
Hold on to these crutches
Cauterize my bleeding heart
Take it from the start babe, take it from the start
She said, “It's only just a passing phase.
Just a dark night of the soul.
Say the word and I'll leave you where you lay.”
I said nothing, she said:
“I am your wrecking ball.”
The past don't matter, so grab what you gathered,
cause I'm gonna tear it down.
Uh oh I done some things (Yeah, I don't care)
Uh oh I said some things (Yeah, I don't care)
I'll be your wrecking ball
When I was cold you were warmer (Its your party)
Take me home but know my nature (Its your party)
Oh, the things that I will do to you
Blame the serpent if you must
When the past comes back
its second chances
what will bring you down
The past don't matter, so grab what you gathered,
cause I'm gonna tear it down.
