To me it sounds like she fell hard for someone but the relationship was emotionally unstable and unequal. She was definitely putting more into it than he was yet she had so many expectations toward him. "I put you high up in the sky" and we all know not to expect too much from guys, because one, not to offend any guys that may be around, but it does usually take them longer to get emotionally attached than it does for a girl. You can't rush them or you'll only be left disappointed. And when she said "All I wanted was to break your walls" or the line "I just wanted you to let me in" She desperately wanted him to feel the same way she did for him. She wanted him to open up to her emotionally but she went about it the wrong way. I think the wrecking ball is a metaphor for rushing things, or forcing feelings that may never even grow in the first place. Feelings need to be allowed time to develop and by her "using force" or coming on too strong, it only led to destruction in the end.
It's quite similar to my own relationship. We're emotionally unequal at the moment and I'm trying my best to be patient with him rather than trying to rush or scare him off. Ladies, let her song be a lesson or a warning to you for your men. They need to be given time so that you may grow not only together but as individuals. It's agonizing, yes, when you feel strongly for someone and you want them to feel the same way but it takes time and if those feelings don't develop than perhaps it's time to move on. However, the mistake that Miley made is she tried to force it on him or rush him. And no one wants to be in love all by themselves, believe me it's the worst feeling ever.
I could be totally wrong but this is my personal interpretation. And everyone has their own opinions but this one holds true for me:)
That is true. U kno when u mentioned something like"ladies this song is a warning for your men" well its true yeah but ull also agree with me that this song serves as a warning for men too. I av been in a situation where i didnt just walked away from my girl becoz i wanted to date other women. I put her up in the sky and ill always make the difference when it comes to her n other girls. I tried so hard to break into her walls. It was like her walls were unbreakable. U see sometimes...

I tried so hard to break into her walls. It was like her walls were unbreakable. U see sometimes girls want to be treated specially n wen you give them that, most girls dont regard that. I know how it feels when you love some1 very much n they dont love u the same way. As u can see from the lyrics, "ill always want you" when you truely love someone no matter what, whether u leave them or they walk away from you. When they come back youll never reject them. Because when you think of the things u wanna do n life u wanna live with them, ull only see that moment as a chance for u to fulfill those wishes. Life as we kno it is a fawked up world. You will love someone with all ur heart. In the end theyll leave you n that feeling only u cant tell. Thats y Miley said, "i came in like a wreckling ball, i never hit so hard in love, all i wanted was to break your walls, all you ever did was to break me, yeah u wreck me! (This song is so touching to me, i feel it right in my hear)
From the lines i quoted, Miley never said she went hard in love, i think she took her time like any cinderella will do!
I completely agree with this interpretation. I experienced a similar situation myself and hence despite not particularly liking Miley Cyrus nor her music, this song particularly struck me, as if I could connect with the lyrics and it helped me feel less 'alone' with regards to this experience.

The part I found most accurate was the following:
The part I found most accurate was the following:
'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 break me'
'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 break me'
Though I don't think I 'came in like a wrecking ball' in the sense...
Though I don't think I 'came in like a wrecking ball' in the sense that he chased me for quite some time before I gave in, got to know him on a personal level (not just physical attraction) and fell in love with him; I completely understand the 'all I ever wanted was to break your walls' (he had quite a few emotional issues which I felt not only prevented him from truly connecting with his own emotions, but also from connecting with someone else's emotions on a higher level (deeply in love) on top of unfortunate timing etc.). I kept devoting my entire self to him, all my love. At times I could not actually believe how much I loved this man; everything about him. I thought it was what he would eventually appreciate. Yet I think I pushed him too far when it became clear that there was something not right, 'unequal emotions' as you've stated. I felt like I was in the dark and that this was my only way out; trying to confront him, without response on his behalf; just passive excuses all the time. I just wanted to know where I stood but instead he chose to cower and run.
It also gave me an insight into how people truly are not always what they seem... I will never again judge some womanising matcho who may be hiding an overly sensitive heart of gold after discovering that the 'shy and caring' man I thought I knew, was not even capable of having an adult conversation to end things more delicately. Not to mention that I had suggested we end it a few times (against my will; hoping we find solutions) but he kept telling me he did not think it need come to that. He probably lied but I just wish he told me the truth.
I am not denying that a relationship is easy to end (I am truly the last person to even consider stating this) but after a couple years one would only hope that even if the relationship must end, that the mutual respect that existed throughout still remain until the end.
Strangely enough I then met a man who fell for me from the first time he met me. We have been together for over a year now but it took me a very long time to believe and trust him (and feel) after my last experience.
Regardless of my interpretation I think the lyrics here are surprisingly pretty deep and that this song will benefit both those who appreciate it for their own reasons and those who are trying to heal their past wounds. Music is a remedy!
