Wrecking Ball

You pulled the plug just the other day
You hit the lights and you ran away
With your tail between your legs
You hit the ground just to watch your head
You said it right, I’d be better off
With my head beneath the sand
If higher ground is a safe place
Why you swimmin' in the deep end?
If what you need is a new face
You’d better lose that smile
You’d better change that style
Mary, Mary
Open up your soul and show me what you’re made of
I can’t fight your fear
There’s more to life than you will know
Your passion is a wrecking ball of tears
And wasted years
I turned the key and I killed the brake
I hit the gas and I drove away
With my sorrow in a glass
It wasn’t right but I wasn’t wrong
Just shut your face, you sing a better song
With your head between my legs
If higher ground is a safe place
Why you swimmin' in the deep end?
If all you need is a new face
You’d better lose that smile
You’d better change that style
Mary, Mary
Open up your soul and show me what you’re made of
I can’t fight your fear
There’s more to life than you will know
Your passion is a wrecking ball of tears
And wasted years
Mary, Mary
Quite contrary
Your wrecking ball is scary, scary
I can’t fight your fear
It’s wasted years
