'It was such a hard time!' Miley Cyrus on how she 'wanted to leave' Liam Hemsworth for MONTHS before they actually split
|
By the time they finally announced their engagement was off, it was hard to feel surprised.
And now Miley Cyrus has confirmed that she wanted to break off her romance with Liam Hemsworth many months before they actually split.
The actress turned singer revealed that her new song Drive was inspired by her desire to end the relationship - and was written back in February.

'I wrote it while I was working on Valentine’s Day - emotionally it was such a hard time,' Miley tells Fashion magazine, whose November edition she fronts.
'It is about needing to leave someone but not really wanting to completely cut yourself off from the relationship. It’s a time when you want to leave but you can’t. It’s also about moving on.'
On the front of the magazine buzz-haired Miley is shown posing in a black crochet bodysuit over a tiny black crop top and clingy black shorts, staring at the viewer with one finger pressed against her scarlet-red mouth.
The 20-year-old Miley sounds older than her years as she discusses how her break-up with actor Liam Hemsworth inspired her to be the person she is now among other hot topics.

At least Miley is wearing clothes on this one - she posed topless with her tongue hanging out (again) on the cover of the October Rolling Stone.
In the Fashion magazine piece, which hits newsstands in Canada on October 7, the performer goes on to defend her edgy style and on-stage antics so critics and competitors beware.
'I feel like I’m in a different lane now,' Miley says. 'When it comes to critics, I have my blinders on and I don’t really feel like I have to compete with other pop artists.
'I never think, "oh this performance is going to make her look bad or out-shadow her" either.'
She adds: 'But if there is no competition, there would be no reason for any of us to show up to work. At an office, everyone is trying to be boss. Pop music is the same. What I wear adds a factor that other girls can’t compete with.'
Moving on: Miley says that she hung onto to Liam longer than she should have before moving on; the couple are pictured attending the LA premiere of Paranoia on August 8

Her raunchy performance alongside Robin Thicke at the MTV VMAs on August 25, which involved more 'twerking' with a foam finger, got people all riled up.
'I was trying to slap Robin’s ass but no one saw it! Believe me! MTV edited so much,' Miley tells the magazine. 'They cut almost everything I did. I’m proud of that performance. I feel like music is really stale right now.
'I could have guessed what a lot of artists would have done that night. The reaction to what I did has been insane. I think it was a breath of fresh air! For the people that don’t get it, you weren’t meant to.'
Drive, one of the tracks on Miley's forthcoming album Bangerz, is due out October 4.
