My Darlin
Miley Cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walked through a pool of water and I seen the shadow of a broken hearted girl
Pictured us walking to the altar, for better or for worse

Why don't you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me
We gon' make a movie, a movie and it's gon' be in three D, in three D
We gon' make a movie, a movie and it's gon' be in three D, in three D
Why don't you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me, stand by me
I ain't pop no Molly but you still got me sweating
What happened to that feeling? We'll never get it back
I ain't take no shots but you still got me hot
What happened to that feeling? I wish it wouldn't stop

We were supposed to be together
We were supposed to be together

They say that love can hit you so fast
Plenty odds are running out of time
But ours is on the border walk baby
Take me as I am or not
I can't breathe without you, without you as mine

Why don't you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me
We gon' make a movie, a movie and it's gon' be in three D, in three D
We gon' make a movie, a movie and it's gon' be in three D, in three D

Stand by me, yeah, my darling, stand by me, yeah
Yeah, three D, yeah, movie, we gon' make a three D, three D

Why don't you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me
We gon' make a movie, a movie and it's gon' be in three D, in three D




We gon' make a movie, a movie and it's gon' be in three D, three D
Why don't you stand, stand by me, oh my darling stand by me

Overall Meaning

“My Darlin'” by Miley Cyrus is a love ballad that talks about the hardship of love. The opening lines speak of the visuals of a heartbroken girl walking through a pool of water, depicting the emotions of the singer. The lyrics proceed to talk about walking down the aisle with the love of her life, for better or for worse. However, the song takes a turn as the lyrics speak of the difficulty in preserving that love, especially when things don’t go as planned. The chorus urges the partner to stand by the singer, assuring them that they will make a movie in 3D, which could also represent the depth of their love.


The second verse of the song speaks about how the singer's heart sets the partner on fire, symbolizing the passion they share. However, the feeling is not sustained, and they both wish they could get it back. They were supposed to be together and love was supposed to be easier, but the odds are running out. The bridge affirms that their love is on the border walk, and it's up to the partner to take the singer as they are or not.


As with many ballads, “My Darlin'” by Miley Cyrus talks about the complexity of love when things don’t go as planned. This song explores how love can be effortlessly passionate at first, but the hardship that ensues is what makes the love grow. The movie in 3D could mean the depth of the love they share, which is why they urge each other to stand by them through thick and thin.
