🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Echo the hook

  • Left me crashing in a blazin' fall
  • All you ever did was wreck me
  • Yeah, you, you wreck me
wreckevernever
