 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 wreck me
Yeah, you, 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 wreck me

Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me

I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win
