Mariah Carey - "Petals" (1999)

Album: "Rainbow"

Label: Columbia Records

Lyrics:

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 failing 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

With 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)

(Do do do do do do do do)

Fly

I've read somewhere that "Dandelion" refers to her older sister (or was she younger?). The "patriarch" is her ex-husband and the "boy"/"little brother" and "girl"/"little sister" were his son and daughter. I just can't remember who "Valentine" was supposed to be.

There is no disguise. This song is one of Mariah's personal songs she shared with us. Sadly, her more personal songs are not the Chart toppers. A real Mariah fan knows she came from nothing and became everything.
