Extended metaphor

The song I choose to use as my extended metaphor is Wreaking Ball by Miley Cyrus. It's an extended metaphor because it compares two unlikely things, love and a wreaking ball. In the song she talks about how she " came in like a wreaking ball, and never hit so hard in love but all he ever did was wreck her. " 
It's not Literally talking about her coming in with a wreaking ball it's about her falling in love with this guy and giving him her all and he ended just hurting her " wrecking her" and letting her feel so much guilt " I never ment to start a war" is one of the lines from the song that I feel she feels guilt and a bit responsible for what happened. Because she gave him her all and he didn't love her like she did him, she feels like she forced the love and really it wasn't ment to be. I think that's pretty clear when she says "I  never meant to start a war
I just wanted you to let me in
And instead of using force
I guess I should've let you win." This song really speaks to me, I feel like it's really genuine and relatable to. But honestly I feel like this song is a 3 minute story of her 3 year relationship with Liam  Hemsworth.  She loved him but he maybe liked her everything happend and she was the one that walked away hurt, and broken.
