[Verse 1: Dolly Parton]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton]
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

[Chorus: Both, Dolly Parton]
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, wreck me

[Verse 2: Miley Cyrus, Both]
I put you high up in the sky
And now, you're not coming down
Oh, and it slowly turned, you let mе burn
And now, we're ashes on thе ground

[Pre-Chorus: Miley Cyrus, Both, Dolly Parton]
But 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 love you

[Chorus: Both, Dolly Parton]
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 wreck me

[Bridge: Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Both]
I never meant to start a war (I never meant to start a war)
I just wanted you to let me in (Let me in)
And instead of using force ('Sing force)
I guess I should've let you win
I never meant to start a war (Never meant to start a war)
I just wanted you to let me in (I just wanted you to let me in)
I guess I should've let you win
Guess I should've let you win

[Break: Both]
Don't you ever say I just walked away
I will always love you

[Chorus: Miley Cyrus, Both, Dolly Parton]
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— (I will always love you)
Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung (I will always love you)
Left me crashing in a blazing fall
All you ever did was wreck me
Yeah, you wreck me
Yeah, you wreck me

[Outro: Both]
I will always love you
