I'm all emotional from how beautifully kind your comments are ❤ Thank youuu so much for listening to my music - I'm also trying my best to make it so I can release this song on Spotify/Apple Music etc!

@@ecstaticryan4369 the "you" actually wasn't. In a short the singer explains that the woman that wrote the song was in an abusive relationship but Miley Cyrus changed the lyrics so the song could be empowering
I think it works both ways. In toxic relationships, it's not usually just one way. It becomes a habit once the abuse is deep enough. Power imbalances lead to attacking one another, to absolute decimation on both ends...
The original lyric highlighted an abyousive relationship with a narcissist who broke all the healthy boundaries she used to have (distinctly specific too). For those who experienced this, whether it in a form of being a people-pleaser or a pushover, or in an unhealthy relationship, this original lyric does rings true. Miley's version tells a different story, it's a story of how assymetrical contribution in relationship can cripple one side. In a situation where one person do everything to make it work, while the other is extremely aloof and nonchalant, that in itself is not a very healthy relationship. It shows lack of reciprocation and communication, or even support. It doesn't have to be narcissistic, but selfish all the same. Both are hurt, and both are right to feel hurt.
@@marzipanmerci1068wow. Honestly I like both stories of the song. It’s reflective on how two different abusive relationships can have such drastic circumstances.
@@iamRIELLit’s so very true ! Almost every cover I’ve heard I preferred over the “ original “ singers version ❤ it’s so true and great sounding I’m everyday it’s also the feeling u get from ur voice communicates each word is almost felt causing goosebumps ❤
Thank you for singing this version for us. Being in an abusive relationship & trying to leave is an experience nobody really understands unless they have lived it.
after being in a 2 year long abusive relationship, i never realized how much this song resonated. im so proud of myself for being saved by my family. even though i wish the guy the best and hope he's the happiest with his new woman, some thing still breaks in me when thinking of him
@@EscapeReality94 I'm so sorry... I was almost in that situation but I walked away just in time, I hope and pray things will work out, you are never alone, and you are loved. Please never forget that, there is someone out there who is going to love you deeply, so deeply no previous relationship will have mattered. I know because it happened to me. After 2 abusive relationships and one broken one I found him. I know it's hard now but you're strong, you're so much stronger than you think. I believe in you
so glad you got out, i just broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years last week because i finally stopped trying to convince myself that what he was doing wasn’t wrong, he was never physically abusive but very much emotionally so, funnily enough my family is what helped me get out of it too
Well someone's cutting onions. What a powerful version of the song. I wish they didn't make those slight but significant changes. Thank you for singing the original version.
@moonwatcher416my ex posted this song about me. He is married and moved on now. I still dream about him bc I sometimes have to see him when I pick up our son. I couldn’t move on so easily. I tried so hard though. Too hard. This version was way better lol
@@indigoseti ikr? I used to hear nightcore songs and i'd instantly recognise "man this is riell's!" N when i flip my phone to check, ofcourse it's her!!
To all survivors, God Bless you. Leaving is possible , no matter how impossible it seems. You are so worthy. You are strong. It takes victims 7 attempts to leave an abusive relationship for good. You don’t have to do it alone. May God protect and cover you. ❤
Please pray for me. I’m battling with my mind, heart and soul right now. I’ve made 6 attempts to leave. After day 150 something no contact and a restraining order, I’m dying inside. I can’t get him off of me. I feel like I will always want him. I don’t want to have to make a 7th attempt at this.
@@melissadelgado3381. Stay strong. Go to God for every thing. He will give you strength and peace. I just read Corinthians 7 tonight. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit… so we must honor it.

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 You came in like a wrecking ball You never hit so hard in love All You wanted was to break my walls All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you, you wrecked 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 You came in like a wrecking ball You never hit so hard in love All You wanted was to break my walls All you ever did was wreck me You came in like a wrecking ball Yeah, You just closed your eyes and swung Left me crashing in a blazing fall All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you, you wrecked me You never meant to start a war You just wanted me to let you in But instead you used force I guess I should've let you win You never meant to start a war You just wanted me to let you in I guess I should've let you win Don't you ever say I just walked away I will always want you You came in like a wrecking ball You never hit so hard in love All You wanted was to break my walls All you ever did was wreck me You came in like a wrecking ball Yeah, You just closed your eyes and swung Left me crashing in a blazing fall All you ever did was wreck me Yeah, you, you wrecked me
I am going on just over 4 years out of an abusive relationship, and I thought I'd heard all the songs that would make me cry. This is amazing, and now I'm going to try to see if I can do this on a karaoke night soon. Thank you so much for this!!
Same here. I'm glad you got out, it's not easy at ALL because the love you feel while together is so strong and yet so fucking broken. But we continue healing and moving on, no matter how long it takes. Take care ❤
4 years too. I have a hard time calling it abusive, because it was very much toxic but the straining was mutual. To be truthful, this version of the song makes sense to me because it is implied that thé other person never really wanted to hurt you, but was frustrated of your boundaries without understanding that they were, Indeed, boundaries, and not shyness, aloofness, distance nor disdain.
It gets easier as time goes on. Self love is key and taking the lessons, let go of everything that weights you down from that point in your life. 15 yrs ago escaped, broke the cycle for 10. ⛓️💥🙏🏽🫶🏽
Wow these original lyrics ring truer. Sending so much love to all of us that survived. For me, 15+ years ago I was so broken, and knew this despair. I finally escaped after 6 years and ran so far away he never got to me again. Everyday after has felt like Christmas. Now I can celebrate every good, bad and ugly moment of my life. ❤ you all!
Yeah it was written by a team of people and the only woman involved is an artist named Mozella. Look her up. She has said nothing publicly about the “original lyrics” to this song and a colleague said it was inspired by her calling off her wedding and getting out of what he said was a “toxic relationship”. Tbh as an artist I’d be pissed if someone went viral for making up a fake story about how I was physically abused while getting all this attention and love publicly for it.
@@NovaNocturnusI saw an old study talking about the song writer having violence in her relationship but it was never specificed who. Other than that, I can't really find sources for anything else like the original lyrics. I might need to dig into this more.
@@NovaNocturnus if you really did completely make this up @Riell you should feel ashamed. beyond fucked up thing to make up for clicks about a real person. you could have instead said "I took my own spin on the lyrics" instead of making up a full blown lie. hopefully i'm wrong.
When I was a young child she dropped this it became my favorite cry song, but now as an adult i don’t cry as much, until I heard this version it brings back those original tears and that deeper meaning from my childhood.
Many “entertainers” and singers out there forget that music is supposed to connect you spiritually while at the same time conveying real human emotions by telling a story at the same time. Too many show off with unnecessary vocal gymnastics or gimmicks to distract therefore the songs they try and share lose all meaning. Your presentation and vocals absolutely do this song justice! This is the BEST performance/ version of this song I have heard from anyone! Bravo!👏
Okay but can we just appreciate how fucking good she is at singing???? because hitting so high notes like that is hard and she does it flawlessly. My draw latterly dropped when you kept going higher
this version is so impactful for me. for me, it wasnt in a romantic relationship, but a friendship that was horribly abusive and left me feeling shattered by anxiety, paranoia, distrust, and trauma. of course miley’s song is a classic, but this one just means so much more to me. thank you for recording this ❤❤
It's crazy because I was in a very abusive situation that basically destroyed me when this song came out and I feel like in my soul I always felt the original version. Your vocal rendition is incredible. It brings me right back to that time in such a powerful way. Your voice is beautiful
I've been out of my 5 year long abusive relationship for about 4 years. I've worked a lot on myself and healed so much. I didn't know there were songs that could still make me cry because of this. This is beautiful. I wish the original writer hadn't changed it
HOLY. CRAP. Girl, you knocked that song out of the park. The EMOTION behind that was incredible. You brought me to tears. You should be singing THIS song, the true version. 👏
This version makes so much more sense, it’s hauntingly beautiful. I’m an abuse survivor, this song always stirred something for me but I couldn’t place it. I can now. Thank you for this. Sending love and support to anyone who can connect too personally to this song ❤
Oh my god can we PLEASE get thus on spotify- the amount of pain and emotion in your voice is a million times more moving than Myley Cirus's ever was and ever will be. You have suxh a gorgeous voice i cant-
Wow. The build up every time you sing the line "you came in like wrecking ball" from powerful yet somewhat tame in the beginning to then erupt into a climactic cathartic scream at 3:08 gave me goosebumps.
This song came out when I was leaving a severely toxic, abusive relationship, the way you sing it does justice to the song and the survivors of abusive relationships. Your voice is incredible, literally gave me goosebumps. This is what this song always should have been. I just stumbled on your short, which led me here, so this is the first I've ever heard you sing and you have one of the best voices I've ever heard.
This song was painful in it's poetry. I left my abuser at the end of 2011 and I'm just now starting to unravel the emotional baggage they left me crippled under. I always suspected I had ptsd but having a doctor put into words the things I suspected but didn't want to believe is extra painful. I have a wonderful and supportive husband for nearly five years now - and I finally got up the courage to go to therapy because I love him so much I don't want MY trauma and triggers to ruin this beautiful thing we have. I still feel guilty whenever he says/does something that even flickers my responses/triggers to what I've been through and I'm so grateful he's been so patient and understanding with me.
Thanks for sharing. You sang it beautifully 💖 This reminds me of an abusive relationship I had with my daughter's father. 12 years later and I'm still trying to heal. This version makes sense and is so relatable.
Wow this does make so much more sense. I cried the whole song. It brought back so many memories all at once. I finally escaped an emotionally abusive relationship to fall into another one. It has been a wild 20 plus years of me making a lot of bad decisions with some good ones. Thankfully my husband and I are healing and our relationship is becoming how it was meant to be all along.
@@sharifahsyed7774 Wow so you have no compassion or understanding I see. Also not fully reading my statement I never ever said I was married for 20 years. To break it down. I have been married for 15 years with my husband for 16 years. I was with my ex for 5 years before that. For the first year together was truly not bad at all. We both were helping from our past relationships. Then the next 10 years of our marriage was just slowly soul sucking for me. I woke up and I did give my husband the ultimatum. That I was going to leave I couldn't do this to our children anymore. I should've separated just for our childrens sake. It did slowly improve but during our healing it was not pleasant at all for the next 3 years. Now for the last 3 years has been how are family should have been all along. We have apologized to each other and our children and really talked it all out. Has there been issues of course. So to put it all together it was 5+1+10+3+3=22 I did say 20 plus years for a reason. Just remember that we all may have been through similar situations but we all are different. So what one person's rock bottom will be different for another. I really am glad that it seems you have not been through what I have it seems just by your question. Because when you know, you know. I truly hope my children learn from my mistakes and will not repeat them.
Thank you for this! As a surviver of the child abuse to relationship abuse pipeline, this really really resonated. I'm safe and in a really healthy, stable situation now. I'm still dealing with a lot of the emotional aftermath from everything though, so it's really nice to find things like this. Makes me feel better somehow
If you can, please find help. Love isn’t supposed to be at an expense, you are worthy of so much more. Be safe, but please, if you can, get away from this person. I’ll be thinking of you, you can do this ❤
@@SFL934 luckily I did. I got great therapy, and I’m getting better. This person is not a good man. I saw the signs but you know how that goes. He’s not used to seeing a strong woman in his life and when he saw that I was willing to fight back knowing how strong he was, it scared him. I still find myself thinking about the good times but then I have to remember that the good times was the mask. I found safety in being single, in God, and with friends and family. I have more than he could take from me.
i wish this was on spotify omg this is so good, you did the original writer so much justice and coming from a very abusive relationship this hits so hard with your vocals. good job !!
As a survivor of domestic violence- this song literally made me drop to my knees in tears. Healing comes in waves. This version- your voice- brought some healing today. Thank you for your story telling and talent. 🖤
This song specifically has hit closer to home than words can express. The story you wrote with your voice and the emotions interwoven into the power of your voice is incredible. I have no doubt that this song has brought unspoken closure to more people that have survived this kind of relationship. I say this from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.
Came here after seeing your short about this song and my god, I'm only halfway through the song and your voice has POWER. You really give the song a whole new perspective with a dark and raw tone in your voice. And you play the piano beautifully as well. Thank you for not only telling the world about this original version but also for this incredible cover. ♥
@@joejohn2754there's actually no proof of what she said in the short. Only that one of the original writers, Mozella, was in a toxic relationship, but there was never any mention of original lyrics anywhere.
I can't wait for this to be on Spotify so I can have it on repeat for an hour. What a deep song it is.... Thinking of all these women beaten up by love (my sister for 18 years but she's finally free from him 🍀) 💔
Your voice is amazing. It sends shivers down my spine when you sing the chorus... You sibg very well and you capture the emotion and energy spectacularly. Whether you are acting, or you have gone through similar, you set the soul of the words free with your voice. You are amazing.
You sound like a beautiful blend of Billie Eilish, Lana Del Ray, with a touch of Paramore. Girl, you’re very good. You’ve got what it takes to go all the way!
This made me cry like a baby. I don’t if it was from the way you sang it or from the pain it caused from understanding the words so much more. Thank you for singing this so beautifully!
your voice is so beautiful and i love listening to it. it’s the whole spectrum from husky to heartbreakingly sweet. 🤍 thank you for sharing it with us.
The week it was written was the week that Mozella was originally supposed to get married, but called it off. It was a collaboration of 3 people and they were writing with intent to sell the rights (originally to Beyonce but during that session Mozella decided that she would bring it to Miley) so it's anyone's guess when during that process they were changed and may have been changed during the session prior to finalizing a demo. But there are just some things that you can't find on Google, so who knows. The fact that Mozella was supposed to get married that week, and the fact that she had been in a toxic relationship can be found on Google though. True or not, it's a beautiful rendition
I agree honestly. The rendition is nice, but there's no proof that these are the original lyrics, and if Riell truly made it up then it is super messed up.
omg I don’t know how you just did but you described being simultaneously shattered and powerful in this relationship. Incredibly moving ❤ I’ve come across this one video of yours and you are a very special artist
I got insane chills and even teared up a bit... you are an insanely talented singer and definitely gave the original song the justice it deserves. You put so much emotion in I could feel the rage, sadness and fear of a hurt woman that deserved so much better. You covered this so well, thank you for this masterpiece ❤
You have the most nostalgic, deepest and sweetest voice. I've been feeling this song in my heart ever since it came out. Now, it finally reached my soul. Also, is truly great how a single word can switch the whole meaning of a testimony.
This performance gave me goosebumps and left me speechless… the amount of talent and spirit in one video just shook my whole word. You did this song such justice and I cannot express how much I just want to hear more!
Thank you for this most beautiful version of this song. You are a musical genius with an amazing beautiful voice. I felt it in my heart and soul as you put your heart and soul into this. Thank you. ❤
Your voice and talent are amazing as usual. There's something about your voice that transmits your emotions and it feels so powerful. Keep up the good work!
I'm all emotional from how beautifully kind your comments are ❤

@@shivangikansal8025 that’s called a cover, and she made it very clear since the beginning, check your fonts
@@shivangikansal8025actually. Miley bought the song. Not from her I think. But the original lyrics are more about abuse. So Miley changed it.
Your voice is amazing!

That line almost made me cry. Coming from several abusive relationships it was deep.

Warm hugs. As an abusive relationship survivor, I understand you 😭🥺
I left 3.5 years ago. It’s always brighter after leaving. Hope you guys are doing good

Take care ❤
4 years too. I have a hard time calling it abusive, because it was very much toxic but the straining was mutual.

Many “entertainers” and singers out there forget that music is supposed to connect you spiritually while at the same time conveying real human emotions by telling a story at the same time. Too many show off with unnecessary vocal gymnastics or gimmicks to distract therefore the songs they try and share lose all meaning.
Your presentation and vocals absolutely do this song justice! This is the BEST performance/ version of this song I have heard from anyone! Bravo!👏
Okay but can we just appreciate how fucking good she is at singing???? because hitting so high notes like that is hard and she does it flawlessly. My draw latterly dropped when you kept going higher
Girl you can sing.
The delicate & aggressive dance together is beautiful...
I CANT BELIEVE THEY CHANGED SUCH AN AMAZING LYRICS! Your voice is amazing ❤️
this version is so impactful for me. for me, it wasnt in a romantic relationship, but a friendship that was horribly abusive and left me feeling shattered by anxiety, paranoia, distrust, and trauma. of course miley’s song is a classic, but this one just means so much more to me. thank you for recording this ❤❤
It's crazy because I was in a very abusive situation that basically destroyed me when this song came out and I feel like in my soul I always felt the original version. Your vocal rendition is incredible. It brings me right back to that time in such a powerful way. Your voice is beautiful
I've been out of my 5 year long abusive relationship for about 4 years. I've worked a lot on myself and healed so much. I didn't know there were songs that could still make me cry because of this. This is beautiful. I wish the original writer hadn't changed it
HOLY. CRAP. Girl, you knocked that song out of the park. The EMOTION behind that was incredible. You brought me to tears. You should be singing THIS song, the true version. 👏
Only two words came to mind while listening to this, haunting and powerful. I got goosebumps listening to this song.
This version makes so much more sense, it’s hauntingly beautiful. I’m an abuse survivor, this song always stirred something for me but I couldn’t place it. I can now. Thank you for this. Sending love and support to anyone who can connect too personally to this song ❤
You have done the best Verse 2 out of anyone ever...
And it's what the lyrics were supposed to be, too. Really did it justice.
You don’t even understand how badly I need this to be on Spotify 🙏🏻
Oh my god can we PLEASE get thus on spotify- the amount of pain and emotion in your voice is a million times more moving than Myley Cirus's ever was and ever will be. You have suxh a gorgeous voice i cant-
Somber, and Slow, listening to it feels like heartbreak. Love you Riell. Excellent work, better than anyone else could have done
Wow. The build up every time you sing the line "you came in like wrecking ball" from powerful yet somewhat tame in the beginning to then erupt into a climactic cathartic scream at 3:08 gave me goosebumps.
This song came out when I was leaving a severely toxic, abusive relationship, the way you sing it does justice to the song and the survivors of abusive relationships. Your voice is incredible, literally gave me goosebumps. This is what this song always should have been. I just stumbled on your short, which led me here, so this is the first I've ever heard you sing and you have one of the best voices I've ever heard.
These lyrics make more sense with the ones that were unchanged. I finally get the concept of the song.
This song was painful in it's poetry. I left my abuser at the end of 2011 and I'm just now starting to unravel the emotional baggage they left me crippled under. I always suspected I had ptsd but having a doctor put into words the things I suspected but didn't want to believe is extra painful. I have a wonderful and supportive husband for nearly five years now - and I finally got up the courage to go to therapy because I love him so much I don't want MY trauma and triggers to ruin this beautiful thing we have. I still feel guilty whenever he says/does something that even flickers my responses/triggers to what I've been through and I'm so grateful he's been so patient and understanding with me.
I just stumbled onto this video, can we appreciate how good her voice sounds? All of the cords went together PERFECTLY!
Glad to be here before it blows up 🫡
Thanks for sharing. You sang it beautifully 💖 This reminds me of an abusive relationship I had with my daughter's father. 12 years later and I'm still trying to heal. This version makes sense and is so relatable.
Wow this does make so much more sense. I cried the whole song. It brought back so many memories all at once. I finally escaped an emotionally abusive relationship to fall into another one. It has been a wild 20 plus years of me making a lot of bad decisions with some good ones. Thankfully my husband and I are healing and our relationship is becoming how it was meant to be all along.
I wonder, if u had a chance for the past 20years, would u leave him?
@@sharifahsyed7774 Wow so you have no compassion or understanding I see. Also not fully reading my statement I never ever said I was married for 20 years. To break it down. I have been married for 15 years with my husband for 16 years. I was with my ex for 5 years before that. For the first year together was truly not bad at all. We both were helping from our past relationships. Then the next 10 years of our marriage was just slowly soul sucking for me. I woke up and I did give my husband the ultimatum. That I was going to leave I couldn't do this to our children anymore. I should've separated just for our childrens sake. It did slowly improve but during our healing it was not pleasant at all for the next 3 years. Now for the last 3 years has been how are family should have been all along. We have apologized to each other and our children and really talked it all out. Has there been issues of course. So to put it all together it was 5+1+10+3+3=22 I did say 20 plus years for a reason. Just remember that we all may have been through similar situations but we all are different. So what one person's rock bottom will be different for another. I really am glad that it seems you have not been through what I have it seems just by your question. Because when you know, you know. I truly hope my children learn from my mistakes and will not repeat them.
Thank you for this! As a surviver of the child abuse to relationship abuse pipeline, this really really resonated.
I'm safe and in a really healthy, stable situation now. I'm still dealing with a lot of the emotional aftermath from everything though, so it's really nice to find things like this. Makes me feel better somehow
Yeah i finally understand the lyrics being in this kind of relationship.
If you can, please find help. Love isn’t supposed to be at an expense, you are worthy of so much more. Be safe, but please, if you can, get away from this person. I’ll be thinking of you, you can do this ❤
I wish the best for you ❤️ you're worthy of love and safety.
@@SFL934 luckily I did. I got great therapy, and I’m getting better. This person is not a good man. I saw the signs but you know how that goes. He’s not used to seeing a strong woman in his life and when he saw that I was willing to fight back knowing how strong he was, it scared him. I still find myself thinking about the good times but then I have to remember that the good times was the mask.
I found safety in being single, in God, and with friends and family. I have more than he could take from me.
Ready to replay a million times as soon as it gets on Spotify. Thank you so much for singing this piece.
i wish this was on spotify omg this is so good, you did the original writer so much justice and coming from a very abusive relationship this hits so hard with your vocals. good job !!
The original songwriter is such a good writer. And this cover has so much emotion it really did the song justice.
I’m crying. This is really meaningful to me because I resonate with the writing.
As a survivor of domestic violence- this song literally made me drop to my knees in tears. Healing comes in waves. This version- your voice- brought some healing today. Thank you for your story telling and talent. 🖤
I really hope that someone hold you tight and close and give you love and comfort like you gave your heart and soul .
You are a treasure to this world
The tears you weren't able to shed singing this, I just did hearing it, bravo, encore 👏
Damn, I'm blown away. Thank you for this cover. I'd listen the heck out of this once it's out on Spotify.
I love this version so much. It makes more sense and it always makes me cry.
I’m sorry but this is like 10 times better than Miley Cyrus girl 🎉
Im so inspired
So glad you changed it back to the original lyrics! It has so much more meaning and doesn't make blame for abuse on the victim
I couldn’t help but cry 😢 Thx for singing this your voice is amazing ❤❤
This song specifically has hit closer to home than words can express. The story you wrote with your voice and the emotions interwoven into the power of your voice is incredible. I have no doubt that this song has brought unspoken closure to more people that have survived this kind of relationship.
I say this from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you.
You’re so expressive! Thank you for this. Your version hits so much harder. It is an amazing, moving vocal performance.
My jaw is on the floor. What a voice and what presence and this was absolutely perfection to me. Wow. The real deal. You are so gifted Riell
0:52 ik this is supposed to be sad, but the subtitles aren’t helping that mood 💀
Auto sub be wilding
Got real goosebumps from hearing this song....the lyrics make a lot more sense now... I can relate
"you never hit so hard in love" damn. I can feel this
I need all of these covers on Apple Music PLEASE!!! I could listen to your voice forever
You sung them lyrics like you know that pain girl damn chills literal chills
Came here after seeing your short about this song and my god, I'm only halfway through the song and your voice has POWER. You really give the song a whole new perspective with a dark and raw tone in your voice. And you play the piano beautifully as well. Thank you for not only telling the world about this original version but also for this incredible cover. ♥
This is fantastic! The changes you made starting at 2:44 were especially wonderful!
She didn't make those changes, this is the originally written song. Miley Cyrus changed it
@@joejohn2754there's actually no proof of what she said in the short. Only that one of the original writers, Mozella, was in a toxic relationship, but there was never any mention of original lyrics anywhere.
I am in tears i had no idea
I can't wait for this to be on Spotify so I can have it on repeat for an hour. What a deep song it is.... Thinking of all these women beaten up by love (my sister for 18 years but she's finally free from him 🍀) 💔
Your voice is amazing. It sends shivers down my spine when you sing the chorus... You sibg very well and you capture the emotion and energy spectacularly.
Whether you are acting, or you have gone through similar, you set the soul of the words free with your voice. You are amazing.
i like this versionnn ❤❤ pls put it on spotifyy 😭😭😭
This has me in tears… thank you so so much for posting this… you have no idea how much this helps me
I NEED this on Spotify 🙏🏻😭❤
Omg I can’t process how beautiful this version is.
You sound like a beautiful blend of Billie Eilish, Lana Del Ray, with a touch of Paramore. Girl, you’re very good. You’ve got what it takes to go all the way!
Omg fr, you described that perfectly
This made me cry like a baby. I don’t if it was from the way you sang it or from the pain it caused from understanding the words so much more. Thank you for singing this so beautifully!
this version has me sobbing as someone who can relate to the message of it.. thank you for bringing this beautiful song to life ❤️🩹
your voice is so beautiful and i love listening to it. it’s the whole spectrum from husky to heartbreakingly sweet. 🤍 thank you for sharing it with us.
Can you share the source for the "original lyrics" thing? Because in Mozella's demo she sang the same lyrics as Miley in the end.
The week it was written was the week that Mozella was originally supposed to get married, but called it off. It was a collaboration of 3 people and they were writing with intent to sell the rights (originally to Beyonce but during that session Mozella decided that she would bring it to Miley) so it's anyone's guess when during that process they were changed and may have been changed during the session prior to finalizing a demo. But there are just some things that you can't find on Google, so who knows. The fact that Mozella was supposed to get married that week, and the fact that she had been in a toxic relationship can be found on Google though.
True or not, it's a beautiful rendition
I agree honestly. The rendition is nice, but there's no proof that these are the original lyrics, and if Riell truly made it up then it is super messed up.
omg I don’t know how you just did but you described being simultaneously shattered and powerful in this relationship. Incredibly moving ❤ I’ve come across this one video of yours and you are a very special artist
Here before it blows up even more.
❤️
I got insane chills and even teared up a bit... you are an insanely talented singer and definitely gave the original song the justice it deserves. You put so much emotion in I could feel the rage, sadness and fear of a hurt woman that deserved so much better.
You covered this so well, thank you for this masterpiece ❤
I can’t unhear this version and you perform it so stunningly and hauntingly 💔 can we have it on Apple Music pretty please?! 🙏🏼 ❤
I really want it on Spoti cause i wanna Listen to it endlessly
I’m speechless. You’re amazing!!!
We need this on Apple Music! ❤

This version is bringing tears to my eyes. I survived a sociopath, and this hits hard.
Hi five :')
Song hit more. Specially if you’ve been in an abusive relationship 🖤 I cried singing along 🙏🏼🤍 still healing ❤️🩹 stay strong it does get better 🤍
You have the most nostalgic, deepest and sweetest voice. I've been feeling this song in my heart ever since it came out. Now, it finally reached my soul.
Also, is truly great how a single word can switch the whole meaning of a testimony.
this is so beautiful and heartbreaking
This performance gave me goosebumps and left me speechless… the amount of talent and spirit in one video just shook my whole word. You did this song such justice and I cannot express how much I just want to hear more!
OMG.. absolutely beautiful.. absolutely tragic
I have never been so happy for an IG recommendation
Thank you for this most beautiful version of this song. You are a musical genius with an amazing beautiful voice. I felt it in my heart and soul as you put your heart and soul into this. Thank you. ❤
Your voice and talent are amazing as usual. There's something about your voice that transmits your emotions and it feels so powerful. Keep up the good work!
Although I mention talent, I can tell you also work very hard and we(all your fans) appreciate it very much.
tysm!
