Allessandro R. A. Benedetti - Petals lyrics

[Verse 1] I've often wondered if there's Ever been a perfect family I've always longed for undividedness And sought stability [Verse 2] A flower taught me how to pray But as I grew, that flower changed She started failing in the wind Like golden petals scattering [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] But I miss you dandelion And even love you [Verse 4] I gravitated towards a patriarch So young predictably I was resigned to spend my life Within a maze of misery [Verse 5] A boy and a girl befriended me We're bonded through despondency I stayed so long but finally I fled to save my sanity [Verse 6] And I miss you little sis and Little brother And I hope you realize I'll always love you (Always love you) And although you're struggling You will recover (We're gonna make it maybe) And I miss you little sis and Little brother [Verse 7] 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 (Sleep) (Sleep) (Sleep) [Verse 8] 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 [Verse 9] I really loved you (I guess I loved you) I tried so hard But you drove me away To preserve my sanity [Outro] And I found the strength to break away (Do do do do do) (Do do do do do do do do) Fly
