Petals
Mariah Carey
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 prey
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started flailing 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
With 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
And although you're struggling
You will recover
And I miss you little sis and
Little brother
So many I considered
Closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me
Out dutiful
Although that knife was chipping
Away at me
They turned their eyes away from me and
Went home to sleep
And I miss a lot of life
But I'll recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
'Cause I miss you, Valentine
And really loved you
I really loved you
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity
And I found the strength
To break away
Fly?
