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'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 (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

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)

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

I really loved you (I guess I loved you)

I tried so hard,

but you drove me away

To preserve my sanity

And I found the strength

to break away(Do-do-do-do-do)

Fly
