Wrecking Ball Lyrics

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...

    best thing said so far, so I will share, even though I did not come up with it

    -Miley and Nick Jonas breakup.
    -Nick dates Selena Gomez
    - Nick writes a song called "Stay" about Miley while dating Selena.
    - Miley wrties a song also called "Stay" about Nick replying to his song.

    Few years later Nick writes "Wedding Bells" about Miley, how do I know this? Because in the lyrics take a shot at Miley saying "Cause if you recall our anniversary falls 11 nights into June" < Nick & Miley started dating on June 11th {he still remembers <3} And during some of the performances instead of saying "Cause if you recall our anniversary falls 11 nights into June" Nick sometimes mentions her "blue eyes" which Miley has.

    Miley also heard the song "Wedding Bells" and admitted to Ryan S that she thinks it was about her, she had a reply to it, she was pretty well sticking to the topic because she wanted to talk about the song. If you also notice, Nick dated Selena and some other girls, none of them went out on "June 11" and none of them has blue eyes like Miley, Selena didn't nor did his other girlfriends. Also Nick confirmed it was about Miley this is also why he didn't publish & record the song. Also during Nick's performance he puts a lot of feeling into the song and closes his eyes while playing making it perfect it has made him teared up at one performance.

    Miley's new song "Wrecking Ball" keeps the title of "Wedding Bells" It takes 12 letters to spell both words, Miley's song "Wrecking Ball" is pretty well "Wedding Bells" in disguise, it's a reply "Don't you ever say I didn't want you" > Nick's Wedding Bells made it look like she didn't want him, it's a reply, instead of speaking it out they are singing their emotions through music, Nick and Miley have always done this is why it's so special

    Also if you noticed in Miley's book "I remember the exact date, June 11, 2006. It was the day I met my first love. Let's call him Prince Charming. I don't want to use his name, because this isn't about who he is or what I meant to him. It's about how I felt and what our relationship meant to me." < It's about Nick.

    Also when Miley says "You wrecked me" she was hinting about when Nick dumped Miley for Selena and she had always loved him but he 'wrecked her.'

    At the 2013 Teen Choice Awards there is a video where Nick keeps his eyes on Miley, she comes up to him and talks to him, hugs Kevin and talks to Joe and when she walks away he keeps turning watching her and has his eyes on her.

    Nicks song "Sandbox" is also rumored to be about Miley. And Miley released a new song called "Full Circle" which is also about Nick. She said this - "Introducing the song, she told the crowd, "It's about two people, no matter what, they're always gonna come back together, no matter what anyone says or the bad people that try to keep you apart." Moments later, she added, "It's a personal story... Surprise, surprise... It's about a Jonas Brother."

    Miley has always loved Nick and Nick has always loved her, even when he was dating Selena he was always talking about Miley and wrote songs about Miley. All Mileys love songs are about Nick "7 Things" is also about Nick.

    Honestly, Nick and Miley belong together, they were their first love, Miley has always loved Nick, whenever he sings about her or she sings about him her real voice comes out, in the song "We Can't Stop" it's not Miley at all and her voice is crap, in "Wrecking Ball" she really puts her heart into it, he seems to be the one who can open her up.

    Miley and Liam have zero chemistry, Miley needs to realize that because they are both stubborn together, during his new movie they were on the red carpet they barely touched, looked at each other and Liam didn't smile, Liam is never there for Miley he doesn't care if she does drugs, he cheated on her..etc Nick had never done that, Miley and Nick will always have something special which no one else has...
    Source(s):
    Sorry if this is long, this song is indeed about Nick, not about "Miley" or "Liam" because Miley has always had a soft spot about singing about Nick and singing her heart out about Nick. "Giving You Up" by Miley Cyrus is also about Nick, she has sung about him a lot!

    Miley said in an interview that this song is about her ex fiancee, he dumped her and wrecked her, she's also naked to show that he stripped her emotionally naked.

    I think this song is written with max Martin, he wrote it but he told me I should do a duet, with Miley, but she’s great singer.

    A song by the lovely and talented MILEY CYRUS about a strong and passionate love in a relationship that became heartbroken to use the symbolic form of the ''Wrecking Ball'' that she put herself on to take back some responsibility for the damage and pain that she also caused it's end on it, while she also caught the scarlet fever that she showed us on her tongue in the music video.

SHE WANTED HIM TO LET DOWN ALL OF HIS GUARDS AND SHE WANTED TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM BUT SHE DIDNT WANT TO WAIT FOR TIME TO TAKE ITS COURSE SHE WANTED IT RIGHT AWAY..SHE WAS CRAZY ABOUT HIM..THEN..

    I think that the video is demoralising and degrading, why on earth does she lick stuff, yes the song is beautiful but she doesn't need to do all of that really and the top you can see her nipples it.. Really miley? Please stop it your ruining our kids with your nakedness.

    She put him on a pedestal high above all the others. He did something to her, something that made her see him in a new light. She has to walk away from him even though she still loves him. She believes it was what he did that made her walk away hence "don't you ever say I just walked away I will always love you". She tried.
