So, my favorite current song is by Miley Cyrus, called Flowers. Now, I don’t normally care for Miley, but this song really caught my attention. She is VERY flamboyant, but not in an endearing, empowering women way most of the time. She’s flamboyant in a shock value sort of way that I don’t normally care for. However, she’s gotten my attention again since Wrecking Ball, a song of hers that I also love.
Don’t get me wrong, she’s VERY talented. She has quite a vocal range, being the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, but I really am not a fan of how overt-sexual and borderline-gross that she can be as of late.
What got me liking this song, before I even heard it, was reading about her breakup with Liam Hemsworth and why the broke up. I read SEVERAL sources before making a personal judgement, deciding that I rather identified with what she was going through. I have been cheated on with multiple women by my ONE significant other, proclaiming to love me so much, then blaming me for all of our marital issues. It was then that I had to listen to the song that she wrote after their breakup. I was enamored with it and proceeded to listen to it about 10 more times. I posted it to this blog when it first came out. Wowza!
Here are the lyrics:
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
Mm, I didn’t wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I
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
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
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
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
Oh, I
I didn’t wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (oh)
Write my name in the sand (mm)
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
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby (oh)
Can love me better
I can love me better (than you can), baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
