“Once upon a time, it was made for us / Woke up one day and it turned to dust / Baby we were fine but now we’re not / So it’s time to let it go,” the 26-year-old Cyrus sings.

The YouTube video for the song shows a bottle of alcohol, many orange pill bottles and pills in water.

“I want my house in the hills / Don’t want the whiskey and pills / I don’t give up easily / But I don’t think I’m down,” Cyrus sings.

“So let’s just get away / Back to the ocean / I’ll go back to the city lights.”

Cyrus seems to address how young they were when she met Hemsworth. The couple, who both starred in the 2010 romantic drama The Last Song, married in December 2018.

“Move on. We’re not 17 / I’m not who I used to be / You say that everything changed / You’re right, we’re grown now,” she sings.

Cyrus’ new song will appear on her upcoming album, She Is Here.

Cyrus took to Instagram on Sunday to tell her followers that “change is inevitable.”

“Don’t fight evolution, because you will never win,” she wrote. “Like the mountain I am standing on top of, which was once under water, connected with Africa, change is inevitable. The Dolomites were not created over night [sic], it was over millions of years that this magnificent beauty was formed. My dad always told me ‘Nature never hurries but it is always on time’…. it fills my heart with peace and hope KNOWING that is true. I was taught to respect the planet and its process and I am committed to doing the same with my own …”
