Flowers Lyrics by Miley Cyrus
Verse 1
We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can’t be sold
We were right ’til we weren’t
Built a home and watched it burn
Pre-Chorus
Mm, I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I
Chorus
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Post-Chorus
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

Paint my nails cherry-red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said

Ooh, I didn’t wanna leave you, baby, I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
