Wrecking Ball

We were just thirteen then I could barely see Through your window late at night You were staring back at me I remember us walking Never had much to say You didn't need to hear those words 'Cause they were written all over my face I don't know when they decided To tear your house down I watched through my window And my heart broke with every sound I wanna build you back up Don't wanna bring you down I'll always catch you if you fall And I will never be a wrecking ball The day I turned 21 I heard you were in town I asked the bartender where you'd been He said lately you'd been coming 'round He said you'd been hurting Drinking up your time That you'd been stumbling back To the place where we first said goodbye I don't know when you decided To tear yourself down But I watched through my window You were lost in the life you found I wanna build you back up Don't wanna bring you down I'll always catch you if you fall And I will never be a wrecking ball I sat down beside you And held you as you cried Then you started talking And you screamed "Somebody please tell me why" "Why'd they tear my house down Why'd they move me away" And I looked right through your tears And told you all I ever wanted to say I wanna build you back up Don't wanna bring you down I'll always catch you if you fall And I will never be a wrecking ball I wanna build you back up Don't wanna bring you down I'll always catch you if you fall And I will never be a wrecking ball No, I will never be a wrecking ball No, I will never be a wrecking ball I will never be a wrecking ball
