 Petals ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Letra // Mariah 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 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 (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
You're gonna make it baby
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 (so easily)
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'II recover
Though I know you really like
To see me suffer
I know you 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 used to love you, yeah
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanity

And I found the strength to break away
Fly...
