Lyrics of Flowers by Miley Cyrus

verse

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

Mmm, 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

hook

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby

verse

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

pre-chorus

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

chorus

I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don't understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

hook

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I- (ooh, I)

bridge

I didn't wanna leave you, I didn't wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I

chorus

I can buy myself flowers (uh-huh)
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours (yeah)
Say things you don't understand (you never will)
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

hook

Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (oh, oh)
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (than you can)
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I-
