Petals

Lyrics

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 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 everytime
 I try to touch you
 But I miss you dandelion
 And even love you
 
 I gravitated towards a patriarch
 So young predictavly
 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
 And although you're strugglin'
 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 dutifully
 Although that knife was chipping
 Away at me
 They turned their eyes away and
 Went home to 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 tried so hard
 But you drove me away
 To preserve my sanity-
 And I found the strength
 To break away
 ♪
 Fly...
