i remember laying in her bed
feel the years slipping away
she told me that night to tell me today
it don't have to be that way
maybe you're thinking we ain't that young
it's too late to undo what's been done
i've seen worse the walls that we've built up
we can tear 'em down just the same
wrecking ball
only love’s gonna tear down these walls
wrecking ball
only love’s gonna tear down these walls
wrecking ball
born into sorrow, burdened by fate
we all gotta learn to live with that weight
it ain't easy i know, dry those tears
'cause, baby, that's why i'm here
i heard the voice of generations that came before
and there's no telling what's in store
but tonight you're looking as beautiful as ever
if this is it, honey, I want it
wrecking ball
only love’s gonna tear down these walls
wrecking ball
only love’s gonna tear down these walls
wrecking ball
i went out riding, midnight drive
on the roads round the edge of the city
all the faceless towns coming up around
yeah, I don't want to disappear
we got these dreams running through our heads
i want to see them alive before they're dead
want to tear down these walls, get to the heart of it all
so i can touch you where you've never been touched
wrecking ball
only love's gonna tear down these walls
wrecking ball
only love's gonna tear down these walls
wrecking ball
