My Wrecking Ball Lover

Be kind to yourself - don't commit no selfish crimes
I'm nice to myself at times...I treat myself with neglect sometimes
Worn out like a pair of jeans
You already spilled out the beans

You knocked me over with your wrecking ball
You didn't catch me as I made my final freefall 
You wrecked me up with your wrecking ball 
I tried to stand tall, but you ruined me and all 

I was running out of time before you know it
I was walking on thin ice as I see fit bit by bit
I couldn't keep up with your pace
It was so fast right in front of my face

You knocked me over with your wrecking ball
You didn't catch me as I made my final freefall 
You wrecked me up with your wrecking ball 
I tried to stand tall, but you ruined me and all 

In loss of words, but I'll be okay
Released several birds out of their cage today
Worn out like a flock of seagulls
As angry and determined as a billion bulls

You knocked me over with your wrecking ball
You didn't catch me as I made my final freefall 
You wrecked me up with your wrecking ball 
I tried to stand tall, but you ruined me and all 

I was running away from my nightmarish fears
Looked at myself in the reflection of a million mirrors
I couldn't quite see who was around
But, I'm bound to be above ground

You knocked me over with your wrecking ball
You didn't catch me as I made my final freefall 
You wrecked me up with your wrecking ball 
I tried to stand tall, but you ruined me and all 

Be gentle to yourself - you'll thank yourself in a bit
I'm in love with the solace of my solitude - I must admit
Worn out like crumbled paper in the breeze
I'm slowly swinging like a wrecking ball at ease

You knocked me over with your wrecking ball
You didn't catch me as I made my final freefall 
You wrecked me up with your wrecking ball 
I tried to stand tall, but you ruined me and all 
You wrecked me...
You didn't catch me...
You knocked me over...
My wrecking ball lover
