I saw it in the news

I have known you my whole life
When you were ten, you said you'd make me your wife
Eight years later you won me over
Just as I took the world on my shoulders

Miley didn't want to do what she did. She didn't want to leave him, to break his heart, to lose the love of her life. They'd known each other there whole lives. He had been saying they were going to get married since they were 10 years old. She never thought of him as anything other than a brother until they were 18. That's when she fell for him; hard. It wasn't exactly the most convienent time for her to fall in love, because her fame was rising; but it happened.

I got used to living without you
Endless phone calls and dreaming about you
Always said that you were my man to be
But I guess I was in love with your memory

Miley was on tour so much that she never got to see him. They talked on the phone every night for the first week of her tour, but then the only time she saw him was in her dreams; because he stopped calling. Miley started to think that the man she loved wasn't there anymore, just the memory of him.

You know I love you, I really do
But I can't fight anymore for you
And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again
Sometime, in another life
In another life

Whenever she got back from her tour she had to end it with him. The long distance relationship wasn't working for either of them. He had found a new girlfriend, and Miley felt as though she couldn't even fight for him, because she had ruined the relationship herself. Her last words to him were "Maybe we'll be together again in another life." Both of there faces filled with tears, but they knew that was how it had to be.

I know I said that I would keep my word
I wished that I could save you from the hurt
But things will never go back to how we were
I'm sorry I can't be your world

Before she left for tour Miley promised him that she'd always love him. And she still kept her word to this day. Every day she wished that she could've saved him from the hurt, and not broken up with him. Because that day she not only lost her boyfriend, the love of her life, but also her best friend. And she knew things would never go back to the way they were. But they couldn't be each others world when they were never together. So, it was for the best.

You know I love you, I really do
But I can't fight anymore for you
And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again
Sometime, in another life
In another life (another life)

She new that he knew she loved him, because she really did; there was no doubt about that. All she could do was hope that they would get back together, in another life.

The way you're holding on to me
Makes me feel like I can't breathe
Just let me go, just let me go
It just won't feel right inside
God knows I've tried

After they broke up they gave each other a goodbye hug. Neither one of them wanted to let go. Miley did reluctantly, but he wouldn't. "You have to just let me go." Miley said to him, even though she didn't really want him. She tried so hard to not love him anymore, but it was impossible, she liked the feeling she got when he was holding her, like she couldn't breathe. That was one of the many things she loved about him.

You know I love you, you know I do
But I can't fight anymore for you
And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again
Sometime, in another life

You know I love you. I cant fight for you, but I really do love you; still. Miley said talking to herself, but pretending like she was talking to him. Her one, her only. The one she wanted to be with again, even if she had to wait for another life. "Maybe in another life Nick Jonas. But just know that I really do love you."

In another life, in another life

In another life ...
