"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 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 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 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
(You'll make it)
And I miss you little sis, 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'II 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 lacked the strength to break away, to fly
