The entire song adds further fuel to this theory, as Cyrus appears to lyrically refer to the Woolsey fire that burned down the Malibu home they shared ("We were right until we weren't / We built a house and watched it burn") and its plot line. led her to realize that this relationship was not going to work out ("I Didn't Want To Leave You Baby/I Didn't Want To Fight").

Additionally, Cyrus's verse about not wanting to leave could be a reference to reports that surfaced at the time of Hemsworth and Cyrus' split that she wanted to reconcile.tmz reportsthat until this week he had been fighting for his marriageHemsworth suddenly filed for divorceShe told him that she wanted to work on their relationship.

And his lyrics later in the song about not wanting to live a lie ("I didn't mean to leave you / I didn't mean to lie") could be a clue as to whata fountain of peoplesaid in August 2019 that Cyrus doesn't want to completely change who she's supposed to be with Hemsworth. "She just got to the point where she didn't want to hide who she is," the source said. "She wants to stay true to herself. That just wasn't possible with Liam. In order to be happy, she had to change too much as a person. She knows that not being with Liam will make her happier in the long run."

Cyrus talked a bit about not being a traditional wifeELLE when she was married: "I think it's very confusing for people who are married," she said in an interview published in July 2019, just before her split from Hemsworth was announced. "But my relationship is unique. And I don't know if I would ever openly admit people there because it's so complex and modern and new that I don't think we're in a place where people understand it. I mean, do people really think that am I home in a fucking apron cooking dinner? I'm in a straight relationship, but I'm still sexually attracted to women. People go vegetarian for health reasons, but bacon is still pretty good, and I know it. I made up my mind This is the person I feel most supportive of. I definitely don't fit the stereotype of a wife. I don't even like that word."

Cyrus and Hemsworth were togetherOn-off for 10 yearsand he gotmarriedin December 2018. Their divorcehas been completedin January 2020. Cyrusspoke in December 2020about how she would always love Hemsworth, but there was too much conflict in their relationship to be healthy in the long run. What she said during this interview about breaking up their relationship also seems to be reflected in Flowers' lyrics.

"We've been together since we were 16 years old," Cyrus told Howard Stern. “Our house [in Malibu] caught fire [during the Woolsey fire]. We were kind of engaged, I don't know if we ever really thought we'd actually get married, but when we lost our house in Malibu, what if you hear my voice before and after the fire? They are very different, so the trauma really affected my voice. And I was actually in South Africa so I couldn't go home and my animals were tied to a post on the beach. I lost everything. I've had Elvis polaroids, like Front Row, that have aired; I have a lot of grandmothers who give me their Elvis polaroids. I've always made friends with my friends' grandmothers so I can get merchandise from the artists I love."

"I had so much and it was all gone, every song I ever wrote was in that house," she continued. "Every photo of me my parents gave me, all my scripts, I lost everything. And trying to put that back together instead of saying, 'Oh, nature did something I couldn't do on my own; it forced me to let it go.' I ran into the fire. Which is not uncommon, a lot of animals do this and end up dying, like deer running into the woods. You're drawn to this heat and I'm an intense person and I don't want to sit with it and I don't want to go, you know, 'What could be of use to that?' I just held on to what was left of this house that was him and I. And I really love him and I love him very, very, very much and still do."

Cyrus later added of their dynamic: "There was too much conflict. When I come home I want to be anchored by someone. I don't like drama or fights."
