Ahead of her performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards Sunday evening, Miley Cyrus releases a new song from her forthcoming studio album Bangerz.
“Wrecking Ball” is a slower song at the start and turns into more of a rock anthem after the first couple verses.
You can listen to “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus and read the lyrics below:
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 denyDon’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 youI 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 break me
Yeah, you wreck meI 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 groundDon’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 youI 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 break me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was break me
Yeah, you wreck meI 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 in
I never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
I guess I should’ve let you inDon’t you ever say I just walked away
I will always want youI 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 break me
I came in like a wrecking ball
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung
Left me crouching in a blaze and fall
All you ever did was break me
Yeah, you wreck me
In addition, Cyrus released the Bangerz album art today to celebrate the new single and the ability to pre-order the album on iTunes. We presume one of these is for the standard edition while the other is for the deluxe edition of the album:
Bangerz drops on October 8.
