Midnight Sky
Miley Cyrus Lyrics

Yeah, it's been a long night and the mirror's tellin' me to go home (home)
After a long night, Miley recognizes that it's time for her to go home, as the mirror reflects her tiredness and exhaustion.

But it's been a long time since I felt this good on my own
Despite being alone, Miley feels happier and more positive than she has in a long time

Uh, lotta years went by with my hands tied up in your ropes
Miley spent a lot of time constrained and restricted by someone else's control and authority

Forever and ever, no more
Miley is finally free from this constraint and no longer will be controlled.

The midnight sky is the road I'm takin', Head high up in the clouds
The night sky represents a new path that Miley is taking with confidence, looking ahead towards her future with great expectations.

I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh no
Miley believes that her destiny is to live a life of freedom, not restricted by anyone else’s control or ownership.

I don't need to be loved by you
Miley wants to live a life of her own choice and decides that she does not need anyone else's love and affection to be truly happy

Fire in my lungs, can't bite the devil on my tongue, oh no
Miley plans on living truthfully and authentically, standing up for herself, even if it comes with uncomfortable or unwanted consequences.

See my lips on her mouth, everybody's talking now, baby
People are talking about the fact that Miley is in a romantic relationship with another woman, but she claims it is nobody else's business.

That I was born to run, I don't belong to anyone, oh no
Miley reiterates her belief that she was born to lead her own life, without any restrictions or limits imposed by others.

She got her hair pulled back 'cause the sweat's drippin' off of her face (her face)
Miley describes a woman in a difficult situation with her hair pulled back due to sweat on her face, which demonstrates the effort and dedication she has to persevere.

Said it ain't so bad if I wanna make a couple mistakes
It's okay for anyone to make mistakes and take risks in life, as this is how one learns and grows.

You should know right now that I never stay put in one place, Forever and ever, no more (no more)
Miley doesn't like staying in one place for too long and decides to live her life in constant motion, unrestrained by our convention.

I don't hide blurry eyes like you, Like you
Miley refuses to hide any part of herself and her emotions, unlike those who hide their blurry eyes to portray a different image of themselves.

See his hands on my waist, thought you'd never be replaced, baby
Miley is now with someone else, and she feels both liberated and happy. This new relationship replacing her past relationship shows her that she can find love elsewhere.

Oh I don't need to be loved by you
To be truly happy, Miley does not need anyone else's love or approval.

You know it's true (Loved by you)
Miley is confident that she does not need anyone else's love and affection to lead a happy life.
