Petals
Album:
Rainbow (1999)
- M. Carey - James Harris III - Terry Lewis - James Wright -

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 loved you
And I wish there was a way for me to trust yu
But it hurts me everytime I try to touch you
But, I miss you dandelion
And even loved you

I gravitated towards
A patriarch so young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life within
A mase of misery

A boy and 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
And I miss you little sis
And little brother

So many I've considered closest to me
Turned on a dime and sold me out
So dutifully
Although that knife was chipping away at me
They turned their eyes away and
Went home to sleep....

Though I missed alot of life
But I'll recover
Though I know you'd 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...
You drove me away...
To preserve my sanity...
But I found the strength to break away....
Fly...
