I've often wondered if there's ever been a perfect family
I've always longed for undividedness and sought stabilityA flower taught me how to pray
But as I grew, that flower changed
She started flaying in the wind
Like golden petals scatteringAnd 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 youBut I miss you dandelion
And even love youI gravitated towards a patriarch so young predictably
I was resigned to spend my life within a maze of miseryA 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 brotherSo 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 youI really loved you
(I guess I loved you)
I tried so hard
But you drove me away
To preserve my sanityAnd I found the strength to break away
