Petals

I've often wondered if there's ever been a perfect family I've always longed for undividedness and sought stability A flower taught me how to pray But as I grew, that flower changed She started flaying in the wind Like golden petals scattering And I miss you dandelion And even love you And I wish there was a way For me to trust you But it hurts me every time I try to touch you But I miss you dandelion And even love you I gravitated towards a patriarch so young predictably I was resigned to spend my life within a maze of misery A boy and a girl befriended me We're bonded through despondency I stayed so long but finally I fled to save my sanity And I miss you little sis And Little brother And I hope you realize I'll always love you (Always love you) And although you're struggling You will recover (we're gonna make it maybe) And I miss you little sis and little brother So many I considered Closest to me Turned on a dime and sold me Out dutifully Although that knife was chipping Away at me They turned their eyes away and Went home to sleep (Sleep) (Sleep) (Sleep) And I missed a lot of life But I'll recover Though I know you really like To see me suffer Still I wish that you and I'd Forgive each other 'Cause I miss you, Valentine And really loved you I really loved you (I guess I loved you) I tried so hard But you drove me away To preserve my sanity And I found the strength to break away --- Petals - Mariah Carey
