You, you never wanted it to end this way
And you, you didnâ??t know just what your heart would say
And you, you fall apart when things donâ??t go your way

Yeah you, you put your faith in somethinâ?? that wonâ??t stay

So you pull on the pin and the fireworks begin


Everybody waits for the wrecking ball
Steel and glass collide as the windows fall

All the wooden doors and the plaster walls
Everybody waits, everybody waits


You, you thought about the things that you would say
If you, you had the chance to meet again someday
But the pain is something that will never truly fade

So refrain. The night will bring us through another day.

So you tape your memories to the back door.

And you bury your regrets in the floor

Everybody waits for the wrecking ball

Steel and glass collide as the windows fall
All the wooden doors and the plaster walls
Everybody waits, everybody waits

20,000 pounds came to wreck it all
Swinging a solution through your bedroom wall
All the silver lining that we never saw

Everybody waits for the wrecking ball

So you tape your memories to the back door.

And you bury your regrets in the floor

Everybody waits for the wrecking ball

Steel and glass collide as the windows fall
All the wooden doors and the plaster walls
Everybody waits, everybody waits

20,000 pounds came to wreck it all
Swinging a solution through your bedroom wall
All the silver lining that we never saw

Everybody waits for the wrecking ball
