Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've often wondered if there's ever been A perfect family I've always longed for undividedness And sought stability [Pre-Chorus] A flower taught me how to pray But as I grew, that flower changed She started flailing in the wind Like golden petals scattering [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I gravitated towards a patriarch So young predictably I was resigned to spend my life Within a maze of misery [Pre-Chorus] A boy and girl befriended me We bonded through despondency I stayed so long, but finally (Finally) I fled to save my sanity [Chorus] And I miss you, little sis and little brother And I hope you realize I'll always love you (I'll always, 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 (Whoa, oh) [Bridge] So many I considered closest to me Turned on a dime and sold me out dutifully (Sold me, sold me) Although that knife was chipping away at me (Hey) They turned their eyes away and Went home to sleep (Sleep, sleep, sleep) [Chorus] And I missed a lot of life, but I'll recover (Ooh, ooh, ooh) Though I know you really like to see me suffer (Like to see me suffer) Still, I wish that you and I'd forgive each other (Ooh) 'Cause I miss you, Valentine, and really loved you [Outro] I really loved you (I guess I loved you) I tried so hard But you drove me away To preserve my sanity (Mm) And I found the strength to break away (Do-do-do-do-do-do-do) Fly
