Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball Lyrics

Miley Cyrus Lyrics

"Wrecking Ball"

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 always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me

I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
It slowly turned, you let me burn
And now, we're ashes on the ground

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 always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me

I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me

I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should've let you win

Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball
I never hit so hard in love
All I wanted was to break your walls
All you ever did was wreck me

I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me
Yeah, you, you wreck me

The second single from her fourth studio album.

"Wrecking Ball" originally was intended to be a song for Beyoncé, but as the writing process developed, authors Sacha Skarbek and Dr. Luke decided that it wouldn't fit for her. Songwriter Sacha Skarbek posted a message on his Twitter account: "Beyonce song now becoming a Miley Cyrus song?!! Good/bad? I don't know??!!!!" in December 2012.

Miley Cyrus said that this song was inspired by "OneRepublic, and the way Timbaland used to do those big ballads."

This song became Miley Cyrus' first number-one single in the United States after the release of its controversial music video.

"Wrecking Ball" earned several awards for Miley Cyrus: Best Video at the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards, Video of the Year at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, World's Best Video at the 2014 World Music Awards.
